Biography
I am a highly motivated, reliable, and competent collaborator with a wealth of knowledge in the Water Sector. I have collaborated with various working groups under the Disaster Management Authority (DMA) Lesotho, the Lesotho Millennium Development Agency, the Orange-Senqu River Commission (ORASECOM), and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as Project Counterpart.
Qualifications
Bachelor of Science (BSc) Degree in Geology- University of Free State (2010)
Bachelor of Science (BSc) Honors Degree in Geohydrology – University of Free State (2011)
Current Research Project
Use of environmental isotopes to investigate groundwater-surface water interactions in the south Phuthiatsana catchment (Lesotho).
Hobbies and Interests
The use of isotope hydrology in groundwater resource assessments and management as an additional tool for conventional methods used in the past is an area that interests me. Geology and precipitation also have a significant impact on the availability of groundwater resources. Additionally, isotope hydrology, remote sensing, and historical data offer suitable tools for developing conceptual models.
