After graduating in civil engineering, Dr. Proag obtained his Ph.D from l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris. During his 15 years in the water sector, he has been involved in the preparation of feasibility studies, the design and supervision of pipelines and other schemes relating to construction and repair of minor dams, or harnessing water sources either through run-of-river schemes or from boreholes and in the preparation of a Master Plan for Water Resources for Mauritius. He subsequently joined the University of Mauritius, where he has been lecturing, for more than 20 years, generally on civil engineering and management subjects, and infrastructure planning and management, where he has trained many people to consider infrastructure as a whole, together with a need for resilience towards extreme conditions.
