Career Summary

Mr. Ahmad has completed the graduation from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) as a Water Resources Engineer. This degree on water resources has been certified as equivalent as civil engineering degree. He is very proactive, hardworking and enthusiastic professional, working on hydrology, geotechnical, water, health and sanitation and other relevant water resources management aspects. As a water resources engineer, he participated in a number of govt. development projects such as LGED (PSSWRSP), BWDB (CCTF, CEIP etc), BIWTA (WTA013, WTA019, WTA023 etc),  PDB (RPCL, NWPGCL, PGCB etc) etc. and some non govt. projects such as several housing projects in Bangladesh. He is self-driven and focused individual who knows how to set goals and work achieve them. This has been the success behind the completion of more than 30 complex projects.

A.Tanveer 2014: Thesis on river Bank Protection Works on the polder 39/2C along the Baleswar River, Pirojpur.
July 2014

In 1865, river bank protection works was turned into water resources engineering and became the purpose of more sustainability works against river bank movement. River bank protection works are made by channelization or by constructing embankment along with the side of the river. Sometimes salinity intrusion to the ground water found in the southern part of Bangladesh. Farmers of that region try to save their cultivation from salinity and think to construct some kind of barrier between saline and fresh ground water. In Bangladesh , the southern part already have facing so many tremendous cyclonic storm surges that created a bad condition over the region and have no suitable protection works against storm surges . Moreover, tidal water level exceeds the previous level and maximum portion of ground become inundated in normal lunar orbit system. So, present worst condition should be met up.
A river embankment section along the left bank of the Baleshwar River, just upstream of the Pirojpur town is chosen for design study. Statistical analyses are performed on the Annual High Tidal Water Level to estimate 1-in-50 year tidal height with storm surges as design water level. The Design Water Level and soil data obtained from the project are used to design structural parameters for the river embankment. Finally a comparison is made between the existing and performed designs.
The river has meandering with braided condition and possesses silt carrying capacity. The bank movement occurs frequently. The flood effect has an impact on that region and during monsoon period, salinity become harmless on cultivation. The effect of earthquake force has a neglecting value in constructing embankment. This river also has a tremendous tidal effect twice a day that also contributes to the rise in the water surface level. Storm surge has another contribution on the rising of water level that also be estimated from previous surge data and is added to the design of embankment crest level.
