    • Study and assess the present hydrodynamics of the area. Including the tidal variations, water circulation, water quality, environmental aspects, and weather conditions.• Perform a bathymetric survey.• Data collection and analysis of the area topography, bathymetry, weather conditions, and tides. Location, time, and method of data collection depend on the water quality, hydrodynamics, and collection method. Some data are continuously measured throughout the project’s lifetime.• Perform a feasibility study on how to best utilize the area in recreation, and study different alternatives. Study how the proposed scenarios will affect the water circulation and quality in the area.• Preform hydrodynamic and wave modelling to study different scenarios, and their effect on the stable equilibrium of the area.• Assess the environmental impact of the proposed solution. • Develop a detailed design with BOQ for seawalls, groins, artificial beaches, fishing marinas, and tidal pools.• Develop a guidebook on how and when to nourish artificial beaches based on the water quality, beach profile, and slope.

    • Monitor the water quality in Khadraweya and Tellin drains in Delta region, during the lifetime of the project; pre and post construction of the wetland. Water quality was collected along a number of stations. The location of the stations was based on the stream hydrodynamics, social and other logistic parameters. • Assess the water quality along the two drains. Investigate the sources of pollution, and any alternatives or mitigations to reduce the pollution. Investigate the probability of constructing an instream wetland along the drains. • Investigate different parameters affecting the water quality indices.• Investigate the suitable location, and size of the wetland and whether it will affect any of the surrounding villages.• Supervising data collection• Design an instream wetland along Tellin drain. The design included water structures, earthworks, and vegetation selection and capacity based on an expected efficiency and water quality post construction. Decision was based on:o Efficiency of mitigation o Cost per cubic meter of treated water, including construction, power, upgrading, and maintenance costso Environmental and social impactso Maintenance and Upgradability• Delivering a maintenance report including, schedule, tools, machinery, methods, and vegetation replacements if required.• Delivering a number of tailored workshops, and conducting a number of field visit were included.

Developing a 1D model to simulate the change in water temperature under different topographies and solar radiation conditions.• Investigating the influence of spatial and temporal variations in solar radiation on lake circulation.• Writing reports.• Investigate and characterize internal waves in the reservoir by means of field data analysis and hydrodynamic modelling. • Developing and applying a semi-analytical model to simulate the thermocline deflections in the vicinity of the release facility.• Analysing meteorological and temperature data.• Testing energy distribution in the hypolimnion. • Developing and applying a semi-analytical model to simulate the thermocline deflections. Investigating water stratification under different meteorological and hydrothermal scenarios and writing reports.
