My Profile

About

Nick name, Marko, which came from Marco Polo, who explored the globe in the 13th century. Currently professor and researcher on river, groundwater, and water-quality issues of watershed. Work with NGOs and communities trying to restore the ecosystem in local rivers and are doing projects for approaching a sustainable, green city. I like Nature Based Approach or Design with Nature to solve engineering problems and trying to replace Grey Infrastructures by Green ones. Since 1993, attended conferences all over the world and take the traveling opportunities to fulfill dream as a solo adventurer. I am not young in age but always young in heart.
