About Melvyn Kay

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.
