desktop, (ii) Identification of headwork sites as well as headwork options, (iii) Study of climate and
hydrometeorology, Aquatic hydrology, Urban hydrology and detail designs of different irrigation headwork
structures (such as Diversion weir, Pump, Dam, River side Intake Structure, Spring Protection) and
related development project components (such as surface, sprinkler and drip irrigation and drainage
system layout design, storage ponds, flood protection, water harvesting structures, SWC structures, water
supply, camping station, access road), with passion (iv) Preparation of working drawings, Takeoff sheet,
BOQ, and Rate analysis, (v) supervision of construction projects, (vi) Evaluation of irrigation infrastructure
and performance assessment sponsored by WB.

I have skill and knowledge in water resources management, water resources engineering, natural
resources management, agriculture and environmental protection. I have licensed in practicing profession
and Water resources Consultancy Firm. I have mastered three languages (Amharic, Afan Oromo, and
