Water Quality and Hydraulic Modeling for Chlorine Residual San Jose Water, CA, USA Working with San Jose Water to build and calibrate a model that tracks free chlorine, chloramine, and the blending between them. 2025–present
Description
San Jose Water is preparing for anticipated changes to the US EPA's disinfectant requirements. Meeting them will take operational changes, including managing the blending zones where water disinfected with free chlorine meets water disinfected with monochloramine. The project builds a water quality model that tracks both disinfectants, and how they mix, across the whole system.
Scope
- Benchmark existing calibration procedures against similar utilities and industry best practices
- Adapt the existing hydraulic model for chemical trace modeling with Aquanuity's AquaTwin Pro multi-species extension (MSX)
- Calibrate the model with field samples
- Train utility staff to build and calibrate water quality models
Responsibilities
- Building a dashboard that brings together all water quality field sampling data, with quantitative and qualitative analyses
- Running water age simulations and comparing the results with field sampling data
- Developing an MSX model in AquaTwin Pro that traces each water source (surface water and groundwater) and disinfectant, used to produce blending exhibits
- Analyzing hold studies and developing disinfectant decay curves
- Coordinating with EPA on the development of the multi-species chloramine model, then feeding it into the MSX model, running it on the system, exporting the results, and building a calibration dashboard
- Working with Aquanuity to add new features to its newly released MSX tools, streamlining our workflow and future work for utilities

- Coordinating with EPA on the development of the multi-species chloramine model
- Supporting development of an MSX model of free chlorine and monochloramine that traces disinfectant behavior across the system and lays the groundwork for its calibration

Feasibility Study for Bahr ElBaqar Wastewater Treatment Plant Sinai, Egypt Early-stage feasibility work for a 5.6 million m³/day plant that treats drain water for irrigation reuse. 2019
Description
A tertiary wastewater treatment and sludge handling plant with a capacity of 5.6 million m³/day. It treats polluted water from the Bahr ElBaqar drain, a mix of industrial effluent, sewage, and agricultural runoff, through coagulation, flocculation, settling, filtration, and disinfection. The treated water is carried under the Suez Canal and reused to irrigate newly created agricultural land. The total project value is about $739 million.
Responsibilities
- Working as part of the engineering team preparing the feasibility study in the project's early planning stages
- Developing feasibility study inputs for capacity, land requirements, and process selection
Flood Risk and Hydrological Assessment AlMadinah, AlJouf, and Tabouk Regions, Saudi Arabia Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling across 99 locations to map flood risk zones and test flood protection schemes. 2018–2020
Description
A regional flood risk assessment that evaluated 99 locations across the AlMadinah, AlJouf, and Tabouk regions to identify flood-prone zones and develop practical flood protection schemes. The work covered field investigations, infrastructure assessment, watershed delineation, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, flood risk mapping, and evaluation of mitigation alternatives.
Responsibilities
- Analyzing field data from site investigations to assess existing hydraulic structures and flood-control infrastructure
- Developing AutoLISP automation tools in AutoCAD to categorize, cluster, and organize infrastructure data into a database for engineering analysis, improving consistency and efficiency across the project areas
- Delineating watersheds and building hydrologic models in the Watershed Modeling System (WMS) to simulate runoff and identify flood risk zones under varying storm conditions
