Work experience
I have 16 years of post-qualification experience in hydrology and water resources investigation and management in Ghana. I have been a university lecturer, researcher and consultant in hydrology/water resources engineering. I have worked on various aspects of water resources development and management for mineral exploration, domestic water supply, irrigation and the occurrence of extreme hydrlogical events, including floods and drought. Have been involved in field measurements of flows under various projects in order to monitor the low flows.
