Expert Operational Water Management
CurrentAs Expert in Operational Water Management, I work with water managers on improving capacity for operational water management. Mostly that is supported by operational systems, such as flood forecasting and early warning systems, but also inflow forecasting and reservoir optimization systems. I started developing this knowledge and experience in The Netherlands working for the Dutch Water Authorities, including regional water boards. Later I got involved in international projects where I advised water authorities abroad on implementation of operational systems for water management. In January 2020 I moved to Deltares USA to continue my career in North America: supporting water management authorities here and expanding my experience with best practices in this continent. In 2023 I returned to continue my career at Deltares, The Netherlands.
