Career Dr. Annandale, President of Engineering and
Hydrosystems Inc., has 28 years of experience as a water resource
engineer. He offers services in the
field of fluvial hydraulics, design and engineering; reservoir and water supply
management; and hydrology and hydraulics.
He has published approximately 100 peer-reviewed papers and is author
and contributing author to five books on sedimentation and scour.
He
is known for the development of the Erodibility Index Method (also known as
Having
worked on numerous river projects around the world, including river
restoration, bank stabilization, pipeline and bridge pier scour, and
investigating aggradation and degradation of rivers, Dr. Annandale offers
specialized knowledge, including sediment transport modeling experience, in
this area of expertise.
Dr.
Annandale is known for his expertise in reservoir sedimentation management,
having authored one of the first books on this topic, having co-developed the
Life Cycle Management Concept for the World Bank, and having worked on numerous
reservoir sedimentation management projects in the United States of America and
internationally. The Life Cycle
Management Concept is a management approach for ensuring sustainable use of
surface water resources and water resource infrastructure.
He
has experience in optimizing operating rules for large raw water supply systems
and has worked on developing strategic directions for integrated water resource
management approaches on national scales.
Dr.
Annandale consults nationally and internationally and has worked on projects in
numerous countries including the
