• Conducting bathymetry surveys to determine sedimentation rate on chosen dams
• Carrying hydro census survey for all irrigation schemes and for all the boreholes drilled by the company I worked for
•  Routine water quality analysis for both physio-chemical and biological parameters
• Routine boreholes monitoring through installation, download and interpretation of data from data loggers/trolls
• Supervision of community water projects and drilling exercises

Pauline is a true patriot and believes her country has a lot of untapped potential; therefore, she will immediately contribute by advising her pastoral community to adopt the alternative livelihoods available to arrest food security and their living standards. She will encourage small scales farmers in her village to adopt modern farming methods and go drought resilient plants.
