Projects
Integrated hydrological and mass balance assessment in a German lowland catchment with coupled hydrologic and hydraulic modeling (Role: Ph.D. Research Project).
(https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00002884)
This study was funded by the research project Bootmonitoring in the BMBF program (FKZ: 033W039B). Data analysis with simple parameterization techniques (hydrograph separation methods and Darcy law) was conducted in the Augraben River catchment to divide the total surface flow into the base flow and quick flow. An integrated coupled hydrological and hydraulic model (MIKE SHE and MIKE 11) is used to quantify the meteorological effects on water balance components and the exchange of groundwater and surface water. Hydrological modeling results in combination with limited available water quality data is used to estimate the hydrology and water quality variations at a sub-catchment scale.
Identification of geological hazards and damage assessment of infrastructures due to flood 2022 along river swat to Nowshera city (Role: Co-PI)
This project was China Pakistan Joint Research Center for Earth Sciences (CPJRC). The project aimed to identify and classify the different geological hazards along the Swat River due to flood 2022, and extensively study their impact on infrastructures.
