Description:
Water Resources Engineering is an important sub-discipline of
civil engineering that includes hydraulic engineering, surface
water and groundwater hydrology, water resources systems analysis,
contaminant transport and environmental fluid mechanics. Common
to all of these areas of study is the goal of understanding
the physical processes responsible for the distribution of water
in natural and engineered environments. The main motivation
is that, in a world of ever-increasing population and industrialization,
our relationships with the water environment surrounding us
are of increasing significance.
