GH ENGINEERING HYDROLOGIST

I am an engineering hydrologist with 50 years experience. I have published numerous reports on water resource studies to further water resource management and presented research findings to stake holders, Regional Councillors, Commissioners, and at New Zealand conferences. I have also presented evidence at the environment court, resource consent and planning hearings as well as being active in environment court negotiations. I specialise in integrated catchment water resources management, in particular mapping water resources, naturalisation of modified flow data, and quality checking data... I have provided hydrology consultancy advice for Regional Councils for the last 15 years... I modeled the optimal management of storage dams and lakes, which included a practical water balance model of Lake Ellesmere to predict level changes for optional management rules. He also reported on the hydrology of the flood that resulted in the Opuha Dam collapse.
