Water Experience

I am a graduate student in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering with a background in Water Resources and Irrigation Engineering. My expertise includes hydrology, watershed analysis, and water resources management, with skills in data analysis, GIS, hydrologic modeling, and AI. I focus on water challenges in Ethiopia, using analytical tools to assess water availability, variability, and climate impacts. My research supports efficient and equitable water use, especially in agriculture. I promote inclusive water management by advancing data-driven solutions that improve access and reliability for vulnerable groups, particularly women, bridging engineering with socially responsive water solutions.
