TRAINING IMPARTED IN INDIA, ERITREA (N.E.AFRICA)
& LESOTHO (SOUTHERN AFRICA)
IN INDIA----------- Imparted training Geologists, scientists, Engineers and technicians in the field of
Hydrogeology by conducting classes and field orientation while working with various Departments of
States and Central government
IN ERITREA (North East Africa)-------Imparted training in the field of Hydrogeology to the Geologists,
Hydrogeologists and Engineers of Ministry of Agriculture in Mendefera city to transfer the latest
technology by conducting classes & field trainings.
IN LESOTHO (Southern Africa)----Conducted various training courses including field orientation
programme in the field of Hydrogeological investigations for ground water exploration with special
emphasis on pumping of ground water manually from shallow dug wells and irrigation of farm lands using
non-conventional energy sources and rain water harvesting schemes to all the Engineers working with
the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security. The training programme was sponsored by Food &
Agriculture Organisation (United Nations), Lesotho.
HIGHLIGHTS / SPECIAL PROJECTS EXECUTED
IN ERITREA & LESOTHO
ERITREA (N.E. Africa) – 1. Revival of ‘sick dams’ by pumping water
from water logged area around the dams.
2. Recharging of ground water by rain
water harvesting system in Alla valley.
INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
A special workshop was conducted by F.A.O. of the United Nations on 11th May 2001 in DECEMHARE
city of ERITREA on my report on
“Recharging of ground water by rain water harvesting system in ALLA valley. The report was highly
appreciated and accepted in concluding session. It was later on executed in ALLA valley.
NATIONAL LEVEL TELEVISION COVERAGE
A National Level Television coverage was made by the State of Eritrea on my scientific work of solving
the irrigation problem by ground water exploration.
LESOTHO ( Southern Africa ) –
A community based low cost project using non-conventional energy source was executed in BOTHABOTHE District of Lesotho. The project was unique, having pumping of ground water manually from a
shallow dug well constructed by the community under my technical guidance. The irrigation of the
farmland was being made without using any conventional source of energy (Wind Mill Energy).
 SEVERAL OTHER PROJECTS ON GROUND WATER EXPLORATION & MANAGEMENT, RAIN
WATER HARVESING, RECHARGING OF GROUND WATER BY RAIN WATER HARVESTING,
PUMPING OF GROUND WATER BY NON –CONVENTIONAL ENERGY SOURCES i.e WIND
MILL SYSTEMS & TRADITIONAL INDIAN DHEKUL METHOD, CONSTRUCTION OF MINOR
CHECK DAMS, REVIVAL OF SICK DAMS ETC DURING LAST 35 YEARS OF SERVICE AS
EXPLORATION GEOPHYSICIST.
