Sakariye Osman Mohamed

I am a Senior Water and Civil Engineer with over a decade of experience directing water infrastructure and WASH programs across Somaliland. My technical background spans borehole drilling, hydraulic modeling, pipeline networks, and reservoir construction for donor-funded schemes. I translate complex geophysical data into resilient water supply systems tailored to arid environments. I oversee cross-functional site operations, contractor delivery, and quality assurance to secure sustainable groundwater access.
