Hydraulics Research Center
Abu Obieda B. Ahmed Associate Professor Associate Professor Abu Obieda has a broad experience, covering the different aspects of hydrology, water resources and hydraulics engineering, gained during his 32+ years practice. His main experience has been achieved in the fields of river morphology, integrated water resources management, water harvesting and calibration of hydraulic structures. He led a lot of multidisciplinary studies. Such studies required extensive hydrographic survey, physical modeling, soil classification, hydrologic analysis and decision making Hana Altom Assis. Researcher Engineer Hana Altom is an assistant researcher has been working with the Hydraulics Research Center (HRC – Sudan) since 2015. During this period Eng. Hana has been involved in number of the research projects; she has achieved a good experience in hydrological data processing and analysis and modelling mostly with river basin simulation models. Yasir M. O. Hageltom Researcher My experience has been achieved in the field of conducting field work, analyzing data, preparing reports, technical and financial proposals. I participated in some projects such as: - Spate irrigation project: Hydrological Data Analysis in Gash River, sponsored by HRC and UNESCO-IHE. - Smart-ICT for Weather and Water Information in Gash River Project sponsored by HRC, IWMI and funded by IFAD. - Sediment Monitoring Program for the Blue Nile and Atbara River. - Sedimentation and operation study for Atbara Dams complex: Hydrological data processing for Atbara River stations. - Participating in bathymetric survey of Merowe dam reservoir. - Assessment of the impacts of the GERD on the downstream hydrology and water resources: Hydrological data Analysis, White Nile and Main Nile stations.
