1995 Engineering Study
The original HARE Irrigation Project Design Report is preserved as a record of engineering education, teamwork and applied irrigation design.
Engineering legacy · 1995–Present
HARE Irrigation Project
Preserving an important engineering work, honouring the professionals who created it, and revisiting the project through modern hydrology, GIS, DEM analysis and water-resources engineering.
Why HARE matters
A project, a generation of engineers, and a living technical archive
Professional Legacy
The site documents how the four original team members developed into experienced professionals across hydrology, irrigation, dams, water leadership, water supply and sanitation.
Modern Reassessment
Future sections will compare the original work with modern DEM products, GIS, hydrological analysis, satellite data and updated engineering interpretation.
