Hydrology Expert

Conduct hydrological and hydraulic studies for natural drains, rivers, streams, and cross drainage structures along the proposed highway alignment.
Analyze historical rainfall data, runoff characteristics, catchment areas, and flood levels.
Prepare design discharge calculations for bridges, culverts, and causeways.
Recommend appropriate sizes and types of cross drainage and longitudinal drainage structures.
Liaise with structural and highway design teams to ensure integration of hydrology inputs with project designs.
Ensure all designs comply with IRC, MoRTH, and BIS standards.
Support the preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPR) and Feasibility Reports with respect to hydrology.
Assess flood plain mapping, drainage pattern impacts, and provide mitigation solutions.
Coordinate with local water resource departments, irrigation authorities, and environmental experts for approvals and data inputs.
Review and validate hydraulic models using HEC-RAS, SWMM, or similar software (if applicable).
Assist in preparing BOQs, cost estimates, and drawings for drainage and flood protection works.
