- Watershed delineation and drainage analysis
- Flood risk mapping and inundation modeling
- Groundwater potential and recharge zone mapping
- Soil erosion & sediment yield studies
- Generate DEM/DSM-based hydrological models and terrain analysis.
- Integrate field survey data (DGPS, UAV, discharge, and water quality data) into GIS databases.
- Develop and maintain hydrological GIS databases and metadata with quality standards.
- Use hydrological modeling software (HEC-HMS, SWAT, MIKE SHE/11, or similar).
- Prepare technical reports, thematic maps, and visualizations for hydrological and infrastructure projects.
- Support civil, environmental, and infrastructure teams with hydrological and spatial analysis.
- Ensure compliance with standards (ISO, OGC, BIS, MoWR, or project-specific requirements).
