River Water Quality Modeling Workshop at ENSEARCH

Some pics from the recent water quality modeling workshop we conducted at the Environmental Management and Research Association of Malaysia (ENSEARCH). Participants mostly consisted of environmental consultants, engineers and researchers. Mr. Renjith, my attachment student from the National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India also attended the workshop. The first day of the workshop was conducted by Prof. Dr. Maketab Mohamed, focused mainly on QUAL2E, whereas I conducted the second day of the training on QUAL2K. Both of us has a pretty tight schedule that week, as Prof. Maketab had to attend a round table meeting with the Prime Minister in his capacity as MNS President, right after his session finished. I on the other hand was not around on the first day, giving a talk to senior DOE officers in Ipoh, Perak at the National River Water Quality Monitoring seminar (pics to come, hopefully) and the next day after this workshop, I had to be in Putrajaya assisting UTM IBD at their MSc quality improvement program. I will be conducting another workshop on water quality parameters in September at ENSEARCH; watch out for it! Those who are interested to attend, kindly get in touch with the ENSEARCH secretariat.

My jacket was off half way through the workshop (on the chair); for mobility's sake, needed to rid as much weight off my shoulders as possible :-)
