David Mould

David is a hydrological consultant at WHS having recently completed a PhD thesis in association with UCL. This has given him experience in modelling the response of a shallow groundwater system to changing surface hydrological boundary conditions and riverine inundation events. This was placed into the context of the catchment response through the hydrodynamic modelling of a medium scale river catchment and its response to flood events.

David is a member of the British Hydrological Society, and has notable experience in assessing in the inundation of flood-prone areas, including wetlands and washlands used purposefully for flood storage. David's career experience includes studies investigating the efficacy of wetland surface drains used for hydrological management, including significant data collection, database management, analysis and interpretation.

Having worked extensively within field sites across Europe including in Poland, Hungary and Germany, as well as in the UK in Somerset, Norfolk, Oxfordshire and Wales and Scotland, David has wide experience of field investigations including channel surveying, hydrometric measurements and maintenance of logging instrumentation.

David has undertaken a scoping study for a flood risk map for the Government of the Isle of Man, and is currently managing a substantial project modelling groundwater-induced drought triggers and associated storage in the Thames basin. David is also managing the estimation of resource availability for hydropower generation Scotland.
