This licensed Professional Engineer in the Civil Engineering branch has over 40 years of experience in civil engineering, specializing in water resource systems, hydrology, hydraulics, computer modeling, water resources planning and design, engineering economy, and water resources economics. He has more than 30 years of expert witness experience, and his litigation work has involved evaluation of hydrologic and hydraulic conditions, flood frequency analysis, reservoir operations, drainage and flood control systems, and computer modeling of storm events and water resource systems. His technical expertise includes development and application of hydrologic and hydraulic models such as HEC-1, HEC-2, HEC-5, and the Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) to evaluate peak discharges, 100-year runoff, sediment transport, and flood control performance. He has developed real-time computer simulations for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood control reservoirs, groundwater basin models and GIS-based water district systems, and hydrologic analyses for large-scale developments. He holds a Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in Engineering with specialization in water resource systems and is a licensed Professional Engineer in California. His academic background includes long-standing professorships teaching hydrology, hydraulics, computer modeling, water resources planning and design, engineering economy, and water resources economics, and he has also provided expert testimony regarding the feasibility of alternative water supply sources, including reclaimed water.
