Christopher C. Obropta, Ph.D.is Extension Specialist in Water Resources for Rutgers Cooperative Extension at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. He joined Rutgers in 2002 after a 12-year career as an engineer and environmental consultant with TRC Omni Environmental Corporation in Princeton, NJ.
Dr. Obropta’s background includes work in water quality modeling, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, coastal engineering and watershed management. His specific experience includes watershed restoration, wasteload allocations and TMDL studies, stormwater management, wetland design, effluent dilution analyses, longshore sediment transport, computer-aided design and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). He has spent the past six years focusing on watershed management and has secured numerous grants to implement watershed restoration projects. These have included design of Best Management Practices (BMPs), including stormwater treatment wetlands, bioretention systems, in-line treatment systems and more, all of which involve working closely with various state agencies, grassroots organizations, local municipalities and state government.
