SUMMARY

A dedicated Hydrogeologist capable of handling and protecting water resources while ensuring water is supplied to consumers in a cost-effective manner. Seeking a respectable position in a highly professional organisation to expand knowledge and fruitfully contribute to hydrology practices.

PROJECTS

Assembling and testing a self-made low-cost weather station with soil moisture sensors

  • Performed ground observation of weather and hydrology which resulted in understanding local climate conditions, hampering the design of effective measures for climate change adaptation.
  • Assisted seniors in using hardware such as rain gauge and anemometer and assembled a low-cost weather station.
  • Learned that the system transmits its data via GSM network to a suitable server, making the data available in real time.
  • The system was highly modular, allowing for the addition of sensors for soil moisture.

Recycling Of Waste Water

  • Collected water from municipal wastewater, neutralized and eliminated infectious agents present in the wastewater.
  • Checked the constituents in reclaimed water such as phosphorus, bacteria, viruses, surfactants, and metals.
  • Prepared a project report on the uses of reclaimed wastewater for agricultural irrigation and the new technologies and approaches used in wastewater reuse.
