Water Resources Engineering – (Ph.D.)

This PhD program is focusing on the scientific basis for the broad discipline of planning, development and management of water resources needed to meet the water needs of society and the environment. Methods needed for designing physical and non-physical infrastructure for the integrated management and protection of water resources cover the range from exploring the hydrologic cycle for estimating the amount and quality of the waters of the Earth through the study of hydrodynamics of the moving water to hydroecological aspects of water in nature and society. State-of-the-art technologies, laboratories and computer aided methods used in engineering science for hydrology and hydraulics, soil and groundwater, water resources planning and management, GIS applications to water resources, design of hydrotechnical and environmental structures, technologies and measures are being studied in a selection of courses.
