Farid Ishak Boushaki, Ph.D.

Dr. Boushaki, a Senior Engineer at Wildermuth Environmental, Inc. (WEI), has nine years of professional experience in the water resources industry. His technical expertise includes water resources engineering, hydrologic modeling and optimization, stochastic and statistical methods in hydrology, and remote sensing data processing and interpretation. Dr. Boushaki has extensive experience with various hydrologic modeling applications, including HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, EPANET, MODFLOW, SAC-SMA, and HAZUS; and with GIS and remote sensing software, including ArcInfo, ArcGIS9.x, ArcView, ERDAS-Imagine, and IDRISI.

At WEI, Dr. Boushaki has provided technical assistance and support in the 2007 Chino Basin Watermaster Model Recalibration, the Cucamonga Creek Recharge Feasibility Study, the 2008 Wasteload Allocation Study, and the development of the Mammoth Basin Numerical Groundwater Model. Currently, he is assisting executive staff with the Chino Basin Recharge Master Plan.

Dr. Boushaki received a B.S. in Hydraulics Engineering from the Polytechnic School of Algiers in 1997, an M.S. in Hydrology and Water Resources from the Department of Hydrology and Water Resources at the University of Arizona in 2002, and a Ph.D. in Hydrology from the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of California, Irvine in 2007. As part of his Ph.D. dissertation, Dr. Boushaki developed and implemented a procedure to optimally merge radar, satellite, and gauge precipitation estimates for rainfall-runoff processes at a watershed scale, and a bias removal algorithm for improving the quality of satellite precipitation estimates over the U.S. and Mexico. Dr. Boushaki is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Geophysical Union, and the Groundwater Resources Association of California.
