INSTITUTE OF WATER MODELLING

Academic Chronology

Mr. Khan did his graduation in Civil Engineering from BUET in 1980 and later completed MSc. Engg in Water Resources from the same university with specialization in the hydro-morphological impact assessment using mathematical models.

Professional Track Record

Mr. Khan has a long professional career of 30 years in the planning and management of water resources. He served in the Bangladesh Water Development Board at various capacities in the planning and design of major flood control, irrigation and drainage projects. Since 1990 he has been engaged in the use of Mathematical Hydraulic Models for improved planning of water and water related environmental studies.
