Coordinator
GLOWA-Volta Project;
Senior Scientist responsible for hydrological activities within multi-disciplinary
research projects in developing countries. Emphasis on impact of landuse
change on water cycle, use of Geographical Information Systems and
mathematical modeling for decision support, and integration of hydrology
in development policy making. Main hydrological interest concerns
issues of scale in presence of large variability. |
| Further Research Topics |
Irrigation efficiency in large scale irrigation schemes, Waterborne
diseases
