Elrenk is a Sudanese company founded by Saudi business man, called Abu abdul Rahman to work in the oil field and in road construction. He imported to the country more than one hundred fifty earth moving equipment but unfortunately the machines were old most of them manufactured in nineteen eighties, this increased the running cost lot. The man faced great opposition from the customs authorities and at last he paid alot of money to release the equipment. Large workshop with big manpower was built and high consumption of spare parts hindered abu Abdul rahman and limited his ambitions.

Fluid mechanics B+ Open channel flow B Mathematical Analysis B+ Hydrological Processes A Numerical Analysis A Statistics A Computation B+ Hydrologic Frequency B+ Hydrometry B Ground Water Hydrology A Analytical Hydrology B+ Hydrologic Computations A Ground Water Explorations B+ Well Technology A Water Resources Management B+ Selected Topics A Dissertation Pass the dissertation was on surface and ground water pollution, supervised by Dr. Engineer Kashroo and Mr. Sean. It mainly looks on landfill managements and effect of leachates from such lands due to ground water if touched the land fill bottoms or surface water when landfill surface is exposed to rains and comment on how to protect landfill bottom from groundwater intrusions and how to protect the surface from rains by curving the surface and seal it . The dissertation also speaks about how to monitor such landfills by making quality measurements for surface water and making boreholes to manage the groundwater.
