Dr. Mohamud Hussein Egeh obtained his Master of Science in Agricultural & Environmental Science and degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Water Resources from McGill University, Montreal, PQ, Canada and Iowa State University, Ames, IA, USA respectively. He is also a member of Canadian Society for Agricultural Engineers (CSAE), Saskatoon, SK and American Society for Agricultural Engineers (ASAE), St. Joseph, MI as well as American Water Resources Association (AWRA), Middleburg, VA. He is paying a short visit to faculty of agriculture and environment, Amoud University with the purpose of training young students in the field of soil and water in the form of seminars and workshops and also wants to help direction of research and development. Dr. Mohamud Hussein Egeh area of expertise is soil and water and made numerous publications and research on the subject. He has also the expertise in regional integrated water resource management and regional cooperation and integration strategies and fully understands food security under conditions of water scarcity, increasing population, and environmental pressures which is very similar to the situation currently faced by regional member states of IGAD. In the course of his visit to Faculty of agriculture and environment of Amoud University; he has held seminars and numerous class sessions on Soil and water conservation engineering for the staff and undergraduates. The over all objective of his mission is to provide in-depth knowledge of soil and water engineering methods and appropriate land and water management technologies for students and subsequent dissemination to farmers, particularly small-holder and committed to build the capacity of the farming community to reduce the level of soil erosion and develop a process of rehabilitation of the affected areas using a combination of methods including engineering and vegetation as well as introducing farmers and students with simple techniques that reduce on-farm soil erosion. He is a regular visitor to faculty of agriculture and environment of Amoud University and working as a consultant and visiting scientist lecturer to train students in soil and water conservation management and transfer his outstanding experience and knowledge on the subject matter to the young students of the faculty of agriculture and environment. Dr. Mohamud Hussein Egeh extensively studied in soil erosion and sediment/nutrient transport and made research and publications on the matter in both McGill University and Iowa State University. He provides also consultancy services for many international organizations chief among them are African Development Bank (ADB) and traveled in this regard to last year alone to Tunes and Uganda hosting workshops and seminars vis-à-vis soil and water resources management. We thank him for his contribution of soil and water conservation management and also his willingness and commitment in reducing erosion and also for his continuing support for our important work in this field. He has made numerous publications in the area of environmental/hydrologic and agroforestry modeling systems. Some of his publications regarding subject matter are in the references. The faculty of agriculture and environment want to invite experts like him in residing both inside and outside of the country through our various programmes and specific discipline to review our teaching and research program and give direction. Thus; the Faculty of agriculture and environment will progress and a lot of permanent and visiting scientists will contribute to that end. By: Abdirahman Ibrahim Abdilahi References: Egeh, M. H., W.
