Summary of Work Experience;

More than 5.5 years of experience as a civil engineer and flood risk modeler. Experience in Hydraulic modelling, hydrological analysis and GIS application in various water resources fields. Assess flood risk using various models.

Project work undertaken includes 1D and 2D Flood modeling using ISIS and TuFlow. Rainfall-Runoff modelling using GIS based software-SWAT.

Have an experience of working on softwares like ISIS, TUFLOW, Sever gems, HEC-RAS, MapInfo, ArcGIS, SWAT, and Map Window.

Representative work experience includes:

Hydrological Design Aids (HDA) –

August 2011- June 2012

Client: Central Water Commission, India.

The project was funded through World Bank. Provided support for hydrology team in Rainfall Runoff modelling for various major river basins in India as well sediment analysis for the same basins. Prepared state of art reports, Inception reports, technical guide. As an engineer in the team he has provided support for development of hydrological components of the software to generate design flood estimation, unit hydrograph derivation, catchment delineation etc. by preparing step-by-step methodology, preparing flow charts to help programmer develop the software. He has experience to handle software such as SWAT, HEC-DSS.

Processing and Analysis of primary data using GIS based software ARC- GIS, ERDAS, MAP WINDOW.

Hydrological data analysis and estimation of watershed characteristics.

GIS data analysis for catchment area like land use, land cover and soil map preparation for the project area, watershed delineation of area etc

Hydrological Analysis –

March 2012- June 2012

Client: Ministry Of water resources, Kenya.

Job Details

Hydrological data analysis and estimation of watershed characteristics

Catchment Based Flood Risk Assessment and Management Study

June 2012 – Sept 2014

Client: Office of Public Works, Ireland, UK

Project Details

Catchment Based Flood Risk Assessment and Management for Shannon River in Ireland. Produce flood maps based on results from 1D and 2D model.

Job Details

Responsible for building 1D model using ISIS and 2D model using Tuflow software. The surveyed cross sections and inline structures were imported into the ISIS model. The other hydraulic parameters such as roughness, slope etc. were applied as per survey and other sources of data available. The models built for reaches with gauging stations were calibrated using spot gauging data provided by client. The calibrated rating curves were used for hydrologic analysis.

Hydraulic model development using ISIS & Tuflow.

Developing the Tuflow simulation files (tgc, tbc, tcf and ecf)

Analysis of simulation results

Calibration of models

Flood risk maps generation
