8th NCCR internship batch working on the theme “Eastern Nile Water Resources Assessment: Situation Analysis

ENTRO has conducted an educational field visit and advanced modelling training from 24-29 April 2024 for the 8th NCCR internship batch working on the theme “Eastern Nile Water Resources Assessment: Situation Analysis” in partnership with the Nile Secretariat (Nile-Sec) in Kampala, Uganda. During the event, Interns obtained advanced modelling training on Nile-Decision Support System (Nile-DSS) that include MIKE HYDRO Basin; MIKE HYDRO River; and NAM models. Each training session was facilitated with hands-on exercise supported by Nile-Sec experts.  

As part of the mission, Interns have also engaged in a practical field excursion to the source of Nile River system around Lake Victoria and water resources development infrastructures (Nalubale and Kiira Hydropower facility) in Jinja. At the end, Interns have been capacitated in applying advanced techniques for water resources systems modelling, planning, and management in the terrestrial environment and familiarized with the Nile River systems.
