Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Edward Godfried, a Namibian citizen holding a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Geology from the University of Namibia (UNAM), obtained in 2013.
I have over ten years of professional experience in the field of geohydrology, particularly in groundwater exploration, which includes borehole siting, drilling supervision, and test-pumping supervision. In addition, I have extensive experience in groundwater resource management, covering groundwater monitoring (both quality and quantity), reviewing specialist groundwater studies, and providing technical recommendations for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs).
I previously served as the responsible hydrogeologist appointed by the Ministry to oversee the groundwater dewatering permit for Tschudi Mine. My primary responsibility was to ensure that dewatering activities were conducted in an environmentally responsible manner and that potential adverse impacts were effectively mitigated. In this role, I recommended the establishment of a robust monitoring borehole network capable of assessing the effects of dewatering on both aquifer quantity and quality. I was also involved in groundwater quality monitoring at Dundee Precious Metals, specifically addressing issues related to arsenic contamination.
During my tenure at the Ministry, spanning from 2016 to the present, I have reviewed groundwater studies—including dewatering assessments—for Rossing Uranium, Tschudi Copper Mine, B2Gold, and Swakop Uranium. Through this work, I have gained significant insights into groundwater modelling and groundwater management in the mining sector, equipping me with the skills and experience necessary to excel in this position. I have also attended training in groundwater modelling using MODFLOW (via GMS) and FEFLOW with SLR Namibia. Additionally, I am proficient in GIS applications relevant to hydrogeological analysis.
