DOHA: The Centre for Environmental and Municipal Studies plans to conduct studies on solar signs to get accurate timing for cultivating vegetables and fish farming to increase production, said Dr Mohammed bin Saif Al Kuwari, Director of the Centre.
Based on the outcomes of the studies, recommendations will be sent to the authorities concerned to enact laws that suit Qatari environment to protect the strategic reserve of its natural wealth, he said. “Solar signs or sun signs locally known as “Al Abraj Al Shamsiya” help find breeding time of living creatures like fish and animals and pollination of trees,” said Al Kuwari.
He said that with the help of solar signs many countries have made strict laws banning hunting during breeding season to protect the reserve of fish and animals.
Al Kuwari was speaking to the media persons on the sidelines of a seminar on “the influence of solar signs on the environment, agriculture and human being in Qatar”.
The seminar was organised by the Centre for Environmental and Municipal Studies run by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment at Centre’s headquarters recently.
He said solar signs have great influence on various sectors including environment, agriculture and fishery.
The seminar was attended by a total of 35 employees from agriculture, environment and municipality sectors at the Ministry of Municipality and Environment.
Eng Isa Sad Al Kuwari, a researcher of solar signs, speaking at the seminar, said: “Solar signs have great influence on the earth as whole that includes cultivation, soil, seasons and times of breeding living creatures like fish and animals.”
He said that solar signs help know seasons and timing for planting various types of plants and trees, adding that scope of this knowledge could be expanded in cooperation with various government authorities as they could benefit from this by making rules and regulation in this regards.
Dr Mohammed bin Saif Al Kuwari, Director of the Centre for Environmental and Municipal Studies has honoured Eng Isa Sad Al Kuwari, for his efforts on the research of solar signs and sharing his knowledge with Ministry employees at the seminar.
