Research Interests & Accomplishments: My research has focused on
rock scour extend due to a plunging jet as a major concern for stabilizaLon of hydraulic structure. A study was conducted to determine the scour hole geometry formed in rock due to an impinging jet by using a physical model and analysing the factors that caused scouring. Measurements were taken to obtain a scour hole profile in the equilibrium state of scour: the value of maximum depth and length of the scour hole EducaLonal. The main purpose of this study was to determine the equilibrium scour hole geometry by means of construcLng a physical model which operates according to the Froude law.
Interests (op+onal):
my main interest
are: localized scour phenomena downstream of hydraulic structures, air-‐water flow properLes in rough beds, design and analysis eco-‐friendly structures ( block ramps, rock chutes, stepped gabions,
weir,…) for river restoraLon, physical modelling of hydraulic phenomena and hydraulic jump.

Liliose UWINEZA Masters in Water Resources and Environmental Management Bachelor degree in Environmental Chemistry Environmental Technician MITAGATION OF METHANE EMISSIONS FROM DOMESTIC WASTEWATER TREATMENT � The research area concerned wastewater management, it included the measurements of
emissions in-‐situ, from domesDc wastewater especially that of methane collected in anaerobic digesters systems and confront these measurements with the IPCC calculated values.
� Calculated (IPCC methodology) CH4 emissions values for the digesters at Gatenga and
Kabuga sites, were between 7.56 to 25.11 kgCH4/digester and 18.6 to 49.02kCH4/digester respecDvely.
� Emissions at effluent points were between 0.8 to 4.7 mg/l and 1.8 to 12 mg/l respecDvely.
Closed digester (Kabuga) Open digester (Kabuga)
RecommendaDon: � The follow-‐up of constructed anaerobic digesters for methane gas (biogas)
producDon, � As well as the redesign of the system from the open digester to the out-‐put
point where substanDal amount of gas is released in the atmosphere. � I came up with current research interest:” heavy metals polluDon assessment of
effluent, its suitability as fertilizers and nearby water bodies. EducaDonal Interests (opDonal): � I wish to go as far as possible in water resources management. Other InformaDon: � My passionate interest in sustainable environmental management began since
my high school. � I was a moDvated member of environmental friendly group and Environmental
projects presentaDons at high school supported me to become great leader of the group.
