GIS & Remote Sensing for Water Management
Developed comprehensive GIS and remote sensing workflows for irrigation water management across the Gezira Scheme. Integrated WaPOR satellite products with field measurements to produce actionable water productivity maps and seasonal monitoring reports.
Streamlined water productivity reporting for 8.4M ha irrigation system
View case study →Remote Sensing–Based Monitoring and Yield Forecasting
FAO-funded project developing satellite-based crop monitoring and wheat yield estimation tools. Combined SVM classification with WaPOR biomass products to forecast production at administrative-office scale. Delivered 15% improvement in monitoring accuracy and 9% productivity gain.
Water Management & Productivity Assessment
IFAD-funded project assessing irrigation efficiency and water productivity across the Gash Scheme using multi-temporal satellite imagery. Produced baseline water accounting and identified improvement opportunities for smallholder farmers.
GIS-Based Crop Mapping
Designed and implemented a GIS-based crop mapping system covering 2.2 million hectares of irrigated and rain-fed agriculture. Applied multi-temporal NDVI analysis and object-based classification to achieve 30% improvement over previous mapping accuracy.
Nile Gauging Station Site Selection
Led spatial analysis for optimal siting of Nile river gauging stations along the Sudan-Egypt border reach. Combined DEM analysis, hydraulic modeling inputs, and field reconnaissance to identify 12 priority monitoring locations.
Hydrology & Surveying for Catchment Management
ZOA-funded emergency hydrology and field surveying project in South Darfur to support catchment management and flood risk reduction. Conducted topographic surveys, drainage mapping, and flood inundation modeling resulting in 40% reduction in estimated flood risk.
Sedimentation Survey — Masalamia Canal
Conducted bathymetric and sedimentation surveys of Masalamia Canal using ADCP and GPS-RTK equipment. Produced cross-section profiles and sediment budget estimates to inform dredging and maintenance planning.
Full canal sedimentation budget produced — informed 3-year maintenance plan
