Duties and responsibilities
• Carry out site inspections and obtaining catchment characteristics for hydraulic structures;
• Analyze hydrological data;
• Delineate watersheds and obtain catchment areas and related attributes i.e. slopes, contributing channel streams, soil and vegetation cover for each proposed site;
• Carry out Hydrological design to obtain peak runoffs in line with the Ministry of Works Drainage Design Manual 2010 and other Internationally recognized standards;
• Check capacity of existing hydraulic structures on the DUCAR network using peak flows and propose adequate drainage structures;
• Develop and compile hydrological and hydraulic design reports for input into the Detailed design report; and
• Any other duties as may be assigned from time to time
