Hamidul Haque

I am a Water Resources Engineer who works with different modeling tools for decision making and iterative research. I am also a data enthusiast and like to experiment on data to see what it offers in parallel to process-based modeling for improved decision making.

Professional Experience

Working as a Water Resources Engineer at AHYDTECH Water Resources BD Ltd. (October 2017- Present), a sister concern of Ontario based company AHYDTECH Geomorphic Ltd. I worked on several projects on watershed hydrology, flood plain mapping and risk assessment,flood forecasting system development, sediment transport and morphological analysis of river, coastal analysis, and coastal structure design. Highlights of my responsibilities are the following:

• Assessed the hydrological and meteorological conditions, issues in data types, processed the data, developed the database, and processed geospatial data using ArcGIS and Google Earth Engine;
• Developed hydrological models using HEC-HMS and HEC-GeoHMS;
• Sensitivity analysis, calibration, and validation of the developed hydrologic models
• Developed 1D and 2D Hydrodynamic models using HEC-RAS 1D, SMS SRH 2D, and TUFLOW for flood inundation mapping and hydrodynamic properties analysis;
• Extracted topographic data from LiDAR or Orthophoto based DTM data, topo-graphic and bathymetric surveying data;
• Background study of the existing documents and data, data collection and processing, pre and post-processing of model, and morphological analysis of river using SMS SRH 2D and TUFLOW based sediment transport models;
• Generated flood inundation maps, preparation of technical reports, technical presentation & training and communicating with the client and
• Technical proposal writing for more than thirty (30) proposals of different scopes.

• Led a team of Engineers and GIS analyst to develop hydrological models using HEC-HMS and HEC-GeoHMS;
• Trained the technical team, monitoring, and reviewing the work of the technical team to develop the hydrologic models and technical proposals, and
• Designed the procedures to be followed to develop models, task scheduling, and team management;
