Mr | Matthew Damhuis | Hydrogeologist | Earth Science | Gauteng | Johannesburg | Groundwater flow models , Hydrogeology | |
I have been a consulting hydrogeologist for 10 years, with my primary experience being in the mining environment throughout Africa. I have work experience within the South African environment, as well as in countries such as DRC, Mali, Madagascar, Zambia, Tanzania and Botswana.
I have been working as a numerical modeller for the past 8 years, focussing on the development and execution of contaminant transport and groundwater flow models using MODFLOW, as well as FeFlow in some instances. My key strengths are my leadership and technical skills, as well as my passion for hydrogeology. |
