<br />Summary of Experience and Qualifications
<br />Timothy K. Gates is a water resources systems engineer and Professor of Civil and Environxnental
<br />Engineering at Colorado State University. Prof. Gates has taught academic courses in open-channel flow,
<br />fluid mechanics, hydraulic engineering, hydraulic structures, hydrology, groundwater engineering, and
<br />solid dynaxnics. His research has focused on analysis, design and operation of open-channel flow systems;
<br />stochastic simulation and optimization of water resources systems; modeling and analysis of shallow
<br />groundwater flow and salt transport; management of water quality (especially salinity and selenium) for
<br />irrigated agriculture; drainage of salinity-affected regions; multi-objective river basin planning; and
<br />monitoring and evaluation of irrigation and drainage systems. Pro£ Gates' research has included
<br />numerous projects in Colorado's Arkansas River Valley. He has designed and conducted numerous short
<br />courses and training programs in open-channel flow, irrigation and drainage engineering, and
<br />groundwater. Prof. Gates spent a total of about four years in Egypt working on various irrigation projects.
<br />He also has consulted in India, Sri Lanka, and Australia on irrigation projects.
<br />Education
<br />Ph.D Civil Engineering, University of California, Davis, California 1988.
<br />M.S. Agricultural Engineering, Colorado State University 1980.
<br />B.S. Agricultural Engineering, Louisiana Tech University 1978 (Summa Cum Laude).
<br />Sponsored Research and Consulting
<br />Dr. Gates has directed or co-directed research and training projects with total funding of over $5.6 million
<br />at Colorado State University over the last nineteen years. In addition, he has served as an independent
<br />consulting engineer with the United Staxes Agency for International Development; the United Nations
<br />Development Program; Camp, Dresser & McKee, Inc.; Keller-Bliesner Engineering; D'Appolonia
<br />Environmental Services, the Denver Water Dept., the Governance Committee of the Platte River
<br />Cooperative Agreement, Devon Energy, Pennaco, the Riverside Ditch Company, ARCADIS & GM,
<br />Greg Lewicki and Associates, the City of Pueblo, Colorado, Boxelder Sanitation District, and Central
<br />Mutual Insurance Co. on projects related to irrigation-and-drainage hydraulics, river hydraulics,
<br />salinization of irrigated agricultural regions, water quality for irrigated agriculture, irrigation-induced
<br />pollutant loading to rivers, modeling of open-channel flow, and river-basin modeling.
