Dr.
Nesa Ilich is a professional water resources engineer with over twenty years of
consulting practice. His practical experience includes integrated multi-purpose
river basin management, hydraulics, hydrology, stochastic hydrology, and design
of drainage systems. He has expertise in applications of operations research
techniques in design and operation of water resources infrastructure, and he has
developed sophisticated simulation and optimization models that were applied in
various studies. His previous projects include the World Bank and ADB funded
river basin and irrigation planning studies in South East Asia, where he was
involved as a senior consultant. Other engagements in similar capacity include
projects with Transalta Utilities Corporation (a large electrical utility
corporation in the Province of Alberta, Canada), Brantas River Basin Management
Authority (PJT) in Indonesia, Canadian International Development Agency, and
Alberta Environment, a Provincial water management agency in Canada. Dr. Ilich
has significantly improved Alberta Environment’s Water Resource Management Model
(WRMM) through a series of contracts awarded to him since 1987 and exported its
use overseas. This model has been used in numerous multi-disciplinary studies
as a tool to aid assessments of water management and basin development issues
among a number of stakeholders, including hydro power producers, irrigators,
municipalities and various industrial consumers. Dr. Ilich has recently
developed a unique method for generating stochastic hydrologic time series at
multiple sites. He has also authored numerous reports and technical papers
published in conference proceedings and peer reviewed journals, and he has
received several academic scholarships as well as a professional award of
excellence by the Consulting Engineers of Alberta for his work on the Yellow
River Basin modeling done in cooperation with Golder Associates Ltd. Dr. Ilich
is Adjunct Professor in Civil Engineering at the University of Calgary where is
currently involved in several research initiatives (
Mr.
Jorge Dreher graduated in civil engineering in 1978 and obtained M.Sc. in
hydraulics and hydrology from the Technical University of Vienna, Austria. He
has 27 years of professional experience as a |
