He is with the FAP19 and EGIS projects since the beginning of the 1990ies and has been a key professional (as Technical Advisor/Senior water resources planner) in developing EGIS’ capacity in hydrology, spatial modeling and application of remote sensing. Together with Prof. Savenije of IHE in the Netherlands, he developed and applied a practical methodology to estimate salt-water intrusion in the lower parts of the estuary. He has developed a trade-off curve between fish and rice and production function for fish and rice production under different water management measures.
