Hi I'm Martin Hollingham

I live in Bangor and Newborough in North Wales.

Currently I am water harvester, an experimenter in Alternative energy and a member of the Newborough Liasion Partnership environmental forum.

I was the MSc Water Resources Course Organizer for 8 years at the Centre for Arid Zone Studies at the University of Wales, Bangor, and a lecturer/ researcher following the closure of the course in 2003 till 2006, when there was no further prospect of resurrecting the course.

My academic interests are largely hydrometry, water harvesting and water quality, water and sewage treatment and small scale hydropower.

I have carried out water resources assessments for peri urban communities in Hubli Dharwad, Karnataka, India. I have also worked for Development Corporation Ireland and have installed 18 raingauges on Farmsteads in Ethiopia and advised Debub and Mekelle university staff on rainfall analysis and techniques to calculate a water balance.

In 2001 I was a water engineer/ auditor for DEFRA in Cumbria, during the foot and mouth crisis, however the official secrets act prevents me from saying much more about that.

I live in Bangor, but I still have the shed at Newborough, Anglesey, North Wales. I am often found there at weekends fishing, canoeing, swimming, or measuring water levels in Newborough forest and warren.

In previous years I lived in Church Bay on Anglesey and was a motorcycle mechanic at Bikes 'n' Bits in Boddffordd.
