Major Projects and Contributions

  • Hydrogeologist – Maytsebri Municipal Office
    Leads localized groundwater investigations, geological mapping, technical evaluation for borehole site selection, aquifer monitoring, and municipal water resource management to support reliable local water supply services.
  • Municipal Water Supply Network Development
    Designs, expands, and supports sustainable municipal water supply networks, helping optimize community water distribution, local water infrastructure, and groundwater-based supply systems.
  • Groundwater Investigation and Borehole Site Selection
    Conducts hydrogeological assessments, borehole site-selection evaluations, geological mapping, aquifer-yield monitoring, and field-based groundwater resource investigations for local water development.
  • Hydrologist – Shire Endasilassie Construction Office
    Served as a Hydrologist supporting engineering hydrological analysis, peak runoff coefficient calculation, drainage infrastructure design, and flood-control works for municipal construction and public infrastructure projects.
  • Drainage Design and Flood-Control Infrastructure Support
    Contributed to the design of structural drainage frameworks and hydraulic flood-control works, using hydrological analysis and engineering judgement to reduce flood risk around public construction sites.
  • Hydrological Modelling and Rainfall-Runoff Analysis
    Applies rainfall-runoff analysis, flood routing, peak catchment discharge estimation, HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, and GIS-supported modelling to evaluate water systems and support resilient hydraulic design.
  • Advanced Engineering Software Application
    Uses AutoCAD, GIS, WEAP, HEC-RAS, and HEC-HMS for engineering drafting, catchment mapping, hydraulic simulation, water resources planning, flood-risk assessment, and data-driven infrastructure design.
  • Academic Foundation in Hydraulic and Water Resource Engineering
    Completed BSc Honours in Hydraulic and Water Resource Engineering at Dilla University, with academic training in fluid mechanics, open-channel hydraulics, catchment hydrology, water supply networks, and groundwater engineering.
