Work experience
Project Experience:_x000D_
I independently had operated a project funded by the Board of Science and Technology, working under National Scientific Research Washington, USA. As a principal investigator I was responsible to design activities, appoint the necessary personals, execute the project, and publish the results. This project was initiated in April 1992 and completed on May 31, 1994._x000D_
This project was funded for the development and management of small scale watersheds in the mountain areas of Balochistan. Although the duration of the project was short but wtill we could get encouraging results._x000D_
_x000D_
Routine Official Experience:_x000D_
I have been working in cold and dry mountain areas for more than ten years. During this period most of my activities were field oriented. Some of the major activities I was involved in were:_x000D_
1. Watershed management and water harvesting system design and its evaluation._x000D_
2. Computer based simulation modeling for the climatic conditions of Balochistan._x000D_
