Engagement durationApproximately 7 monthsCovers the wider role; the individual project duration is not separately recorded.

The objective

Provide reservoir-level analysis to support planning and design decisions for boat ramps at hydroelectric reservoirs.

My contribution

I created Excel and Power Query analytical models using historical reservoir-elevation data spanning several decades. The work supported multiple boat-ramp planning and design projects.

How the analysis was used

The project team used the reservoir-level analysis to inform ramp placement, structural design, and usability considerations. The contribution was analytical support for the team's planning and design decisions.
