Water Resources and Environmental Engineering

Water Resources

Management and protection of both fresh and estuarine surface waters requires understanding the hydrodynamics of the system and associated chemical and biological processes. Students selecting this area are encouraged to take a broad range of courses providing fundamentals in these areas. In addition to courses in engineering and sciences, a number of environmental management and policy courses complement this study area.
