Marianne Horinko named Chair of Water Resources Action Project

February 2011

The recently formed Water Resources Action Project (WRAP) named Marianne Horinko, President of The Horinko Group and former US EPA Acting Administrator as Chair of the DC-based, not-for-profit organization whose goal is to improve water quality for under-served communities in the Middle East. WRAP’s approach is technical and operational, with an emphasis on practical means to improve public health and the quality of life. The membership is drawn from a broad range of political, ethnic, and religious backgrounds operating with strict political, ethnic and religious neutrality.

The group is currently finalizing the technical specifications for its initial pilot project, a rain collection unit at Sur Bahr Girls School in East Jerusalem. Completion for the pilot is scheduled for Spring 2011.
