- Collect and analyze available data on geology of the proposed project areas, aquifer formations, groundwater levels and flows, abstractions and groundwater quality, particularly the extent and dynamics of saline groundwater. Develop a the proposed project areas to provide quantitative analysis of groundwater quantity and quality under various climate changes and project intervention scenarios.
- Presenting a scenario on success of groundwater development program after completion of UKAI Dam constructed. Changes in uses of total water resources, their management and planning. Giving a detailed idea about the utilization, demand, supply of water from different sources.
- Seeing how the water logging and salinity problems are behaving and giving comment on their remedial measures. Finding the reason of salinity rise if any and finally providing solution to minimize the salinity.
Groundwater modeling and resources estimation for Gujeni site, Kaduna State, Nigeria
African Natural Resources and Mines Limited
- Develop a groundwater mathematical model of the proposed project mining gujeni area to provide quantitative analysis of groundwater requirement of 12000m3/day for plant and site requirement and project intervention scenarios.
- Giving estimated groundwater budget from different aquifers, in case exploration is resulting as depletion of water table or drying up any groundwater resources, we suggested remedies and recharge measures for maintaining groundwater resources.
- Collect and analyze available data on the geology of the proposed project areas, aquifer formations, groundwater levels and flows, abstractions and groundwater quality, particularly the extent and dynamics of saline groundwater.
- Develop a groundwater mathematical model of the proposed project areas to provide quantitative analysis of groundwater quantity and quality under various climate changes and project intervention scenarios.
- Use the mathematical model to recommend indicative sustainable abstraction rates under various project interventions. Review existing groundwater recharge schemes in the proposed project areas and, if appropriate, recommend additional schemes or alternative interventions. Prepare feasibility studies for additional groundwater recharge interventions and recommend an appropriate monitoring and evaluation program.
- Document the work undertaken for inclusion in the project report.
Construction of Exploratory and Observation Wells in Jaisalmer & Barmer Districts of Rajasthan
CGWB/ World Bank
- Lead a team who are drilling 227 wells in Jaisalmer and Barmer District of Rajasthan with scope involves, drilling of pilot hole; collection of samples including water samples for chemical analysis and preparation of litholog; electrical logging; preparation of composite log; design of well assembly; enlargement of hole size by reaming; lowering of well assembly; gravel shrouding; development and testing of exploratory and observation wells.
- Development and conducting preliminary yield of wells, conducting pumping test and data analysis, preparation of basic data reports along with site location map, and submission to CGWB in prescribed format in triplicate along with well diagram with complete details of reaming diameter, well assembly size and depth, gravel packing depth, cement sealing depth, clay packing depth etc.
- Taking lead on compilation of report, technical inputs crosscheck and verification, field work, managing project by consulting with stakeholders, users, etc.
Preparation of National Water Resources Master Plan for Zimbabwe
ZINWA/ World Bank

- Develop a the proposed project areas to provide quantitative analysis of groundwater quantity and quality under various climate changes and project intervention scenarios.
- Use the mathematical model to recommend indicative sustainable abstraction rates under various project interventions. Review existing groundwater recharge schemes in the proposed project areas and, if appropriate, recommend additional schemes or alternative interventions.
- Prepare feasibility studies for additional groundwater recharge interventions and recommend an appropriate monitoring and evaluation program
- To develop a Master Plan that guides planning, development and management of water resources in a way that is integrated and collaborative and in support of sustainable management and development, ensuring responsible and sustainable stakeholder participation.
- To identify, through completion of the Master Plan, a structured program of proposed climate-resilient investments for the development and management of water resources and irrigation infrastructure in Zimbabwe, and the upgrading and modernization of the water sector, including water resources and irrigation development and management.
- To develop a National Water Resources Implementation and Monitoring Plan with all associated costs for full implementation of the NWRMP. Suggesting best waterways for transportation and infrastructure developments.
- Steps involved, 1) Preparing a water resources situational analysis for Zimbabwe, 2) Assessing the quantity, quality and spatial distribution of water resources, 3) Characterizing the water use, requirements and availability, 4) Studying the environmental flows and land use, 5) Studying the climate change and variability, 6) Studying the Water related disasters, 7) Spelling out the investment needs, 8) Studying and recommending on water pricing, 9) Studying and recommending on legal framework, policies, and institutional arrangements, 10) Stakeholder consultations, 11) Preparing the National Water Resources Master Plan
