Research Interests

My current main research goals can be divided into three areas. Firstly, sustainable, efficient and equitable use of water resources for future food, energy and water security. Secondly, improvement and application of hydrological and water resources models to quantify and reduce uncertainty in decision making in water management. And thirdly, resource reuse and recovery from urban and rural water flows. My research makes extensive use of both data analysis and modelling, and ranges from local to global scale. My research aims ultimately at providing solutions to pressing issues, thereby benefitting both humankind and nature.
Current specific research efforts include:
(i) irrigation from sand rivers,
(ii) methodological developments in hydrological modeling,
(iii) extreme value analysis,
(iv) water supply-irrigation-hydropower system management,
(v) water-food-energy-climate nexus,
(vi) streamflow measurement development,
(vii) resource recovery from water and wastewaster flows, and
(vii) climate change adaptation.
