Water Resources Engineering

Conserving the essential element of human existence

About Engineering

Water, an essential element for human existence, often requires engineered solutions to ensure its availability. Throughout history, the engineering of water has played a crucial role in sustaining civilizations, particularly those reliant on water resources. Water structures have served communities for thousands of years, witnessed in ancient civilizations such as Babylonia, Egypt, India, Persia, and the Far East. In the 21st century, water has gained prominence as a global resource, often referred to as “the next oil.”

In the Water Resources Engineering department, we offer two levels of academic studies. The undergraduate program spans four academic years, culminating in a Bachelor of Science (BSc.) degree in Water Resources Engineering. For those seeking an advanced education, our postgraduate program leads to a Master of Science (MSc.) degree in Water Resources Engineering, requiring two years of academic study.

Our curriculum combines theoretical and practical courses, integrating the use of laboratories, computer applications, and modern engineering tools essential for real-world engineering practice. Through a comprehensive learning experience, students gain a strong foundation in the principles and applications of water resources engineering.
