Abstract
When preparing an autobiography, how would you identify the highlights of your career? For many, the highlights are determined by the organizations they worked for, the countries they worked in, the positions they held, the colleagues they worked with, or the difficulties they overcame. However, for me, the highlights are certain projects in which I and my colleagues made substantial progress in the understanding of ground water hydrology. Consequently, this article refers to a number of these projects. My biographical details are as follows. I was born on September 22, 1935, near Birmingham, England. After schooling in Birmingham, I studied civil engineering at the University of Manchester, graduating with a B.Sc. degree in 1957. I became a research associate at the University of Birmingham in 1957; this was followed by a graduate apprenticeship on civil engineering sites. In 1962, I was appointed as lecturer in Civil Engineering at the University of Birmingham, with promotion to reader in 1975 and professor in 1983. I received the Ph.D. degree in 1960 and the D.Sc. degree in 1970, both from the University of Birmingham. In 1997, I was awarded the title of Emeritus Professor.
