Bedload Sampler Top-Mounted Flap Efficiency Design
A top-mounted flap system was developed to reduce bed scooping in bedload samplers. The project yielded a functional pulley design and a partially successful push-pull reel. Further refinement is needed for full control in varied river conditions.
Eng. Yousef Al-Ramzi
Oceanside OMG Pump Pacific Hydro Engineering
Pacific Hydro Engineering designed a pump station to divert wastewater to the San Luis Rey Plant. Featuring a four-pump system, HDPE piping, and flood-compliant site design, the $5.3M project ensures energy efficiency, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
Eng. Hussain Al-Amir
San Elijo Stormwater Capture & Reuse
The Development of a stormwater reuse system to combat water scarcity. It includes collection, treatment, and delivery infrastructure, supporting flood control and groundwater recharge while promoting safe, sustainable water use aligned with regional goals.
Eng. Hamad Al-Azmi
Hydraulic Water Distribution Models for Intermittent Systems
Intermittent water systems, common in developing regions, face challenges with quality, pressure, and supply. Using WaterGEMS software, a simplified model was developed from a real system to support engineers working with limited data and resources.

Assessing the Effects of Different Urbanization levels on Surface Water Quality and Biodiversity
Urbanization alters natural rivers through channel modification and pollution, impacting water quality and biodiversity. By analyzing pollutants and using eDNA to identify microbial taxa, the project highlights trends and potential drivers of urban river degradation.
Eng. Alia Amir
Evaluating The Impact of Different Rooftop Designs with Solar Panels on Stormwater Quality
Green roofs paired with solar panels improve vegetation life and water quality. A campus experiment showed reduced temperature and TDS levels, with deeper substrates enhancing results. Solar panels provided shade and helped lower conductivity and pollutant runoff.
