I am a Chartered Engineer with
over 30 years international experience in soil and water
engineering and management. I initially worked with consulting
engineers for 10 years in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa
on irrigation development and then 25 years with Silsoe College,
Cranfield University UK, teaching, researching and consulting on
soil and water management in over 20 different countries. During
this time I wrote several well-known books on irrigation and
hydraulics some of which have been published in Arabic, Farsi,
and more recently in Japanese.
Since 1999 I have worked as an independent
consultant for many organisations - writing, editing, and
producing publications on water and natural resources
development and their contribution to poverty alleviation and
improving livelihoods of the rural poor in developing countries.
I seek work with organisations that are
looking for an international development professional who
understands development and environmental issues, who can write
good, plain English in an interesting and informative style, who
can critically synthesise issues from a range of sources, and
who can produce well presented documents on time and in budget.
