Brecht D’Haeyer (MSc.) is een hydroloog en ingenieur op het gebied van watervoorraden met bijna tien jaar ervaring in modellering van oppervlakte- en grondwater, watertoewijzing en klimaatverandering. Hij heeft een BSc. in International Land and Water Engineering van Wageningen University en een MSc. in Hydrology van Imperial College London. Tijdens zijn studie heeft hij onderzoeksprojecten gedaan in Bangladesh en India naar het gebruik van vallenschorten om rivieroevererosie en overstromingen langs de Brahmaputra rivier tegen te gaan (BSc) en heeft hij de effecten gekwantificeerd op de watertoewijzing door de overgang van een open kanaal naar een gesloten irrigatieschema met pompen in Patna, India (MSc). Daarnaast heeft Brecht gewerkt voor zowel de publieke als de private sector in verschillende landen in Europa, Afrika en Azië, en als resident in Bangladesh en Myanmar.
Brecht heeft geavanceerde vaardigheden in hydraulische en hydrologische modellering en GIS-analyse met behulp van verschillende bestaande softwarepakketten en programmeertalen. Hij is een ambitieuze en idealistische jonge professional die een bijdrage wil leveren aan een duurzamere en meer inclusieve wereld, door zijn socio-technische achtergrond te combineren met zijn ervaringen uit internationale onderzoeks-/engineeringprojecten. Deze specifieke combinatie heeft Brecht in staat gesteld om verder te kijken dan het technische probleem, complexe uitdagingen aan te pakken en bij te dragen aan de meest duurzame oplossing. Brecht is momenteel consultant/onderzoeker hydrologie op het FutureWater kantoor in Wageningen.

Water Accounting Engine to support decision-making in WEFE Nexus
Effective decision-making in water resource management is often impeded by the fragmented use of diverse approaches among different sectors (water, energy, food and environment). This fragmentation leads to inconsistent data, inefficiencies, conflicting results and challenges in integrated planning. To overcome this, FAO Regional Offices for Near East and North Afri+ca...
