His granddaughter is Yasmin Younis, the 2018 Student Commencement Speaker at Boston University’s 185th Commencement which went viral all over the Middle East.
Academic.
Mahdi Hantush earned his first degree as a civil engineer from American University In Beirut, Lebanon . He then moved to the United States where he obtained an MSc. in
. This complication makes the absolute value of specific capacity of little use; though it is useful for comparing the efficiency of the same well through time (e.g., to see if the well requires rehabilitation).
