As part of its continued investment in building its human resource capacity, the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) recently welcomed back two members of its staff who were in the UK pursuing a one-year master’s degree programme at the University of Cranfield.

According to a GWI release, Amanda Ramgobind, an engineer attached to the Design of Infrastructure department at GWI has been with the company for 11 years and holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering. She did her Master’s in Water and Wastewater Engineering and was exposed to both the theory and practice in areas such as Wastewater Treatment and the technology for the removal of contaminants to make water potable. In addition, she also prepared a thesis which focussed on characterising water from the University’s campus which saw her collecting samples, testing the water and recommending how it can be utilised as well as the best technology to do so.
