| Work Experience | - Hydrogeological evaluation of groundwater flow systems in basins with scarce hydrological information. Modeling of groundwater recharge and flow pattern utilizing environmental tracers: hydrochemistry and environmental isotopes.
- Applicable research projects were conducted in the Kuruman desert, South Africa (Quantitative flow pattern in regional fractured domain); Almaty basin, Kazakhstan (Evaluation sources of recharge and pollutants into the Almaty alluvial aquifer); North-West Kalahari desert, Namibia (Identification and quantification of sources of recharge into the Kalahari formations); Arava Valley, Jordan and Israel (Identification of fresh and brackish sources of recharge into the alluvial aquifer); and Yiezrael Valley, Israel (The effect of water tanks on the shallow hydrological system that affect water and soil salinization). All the aforementioned projects evolved hydrogeological field survey, water sampling, analytical analyses and physical and mathematical modeling |
