Water resources engineering

Water resources engineering is concerned
with the protection, development,
and efficient management
of water resources for beneficial
purposes. It involves planning, design, and construction
of projects for supply of water for
domestic, commercial, public, and industrial
purposes, flood protection, hydroelectric power,
control of rivers and water runoff, and conservation
of water resources, including prevention of
pollution.
Water resources engineering primarily deals
with water sources, collection, flow control, transmission,
storage, and distribution. For efficient
management of these aspects, water resources
engineers require a knowledge of fluid mechanics;
hydraulics of pipes, culverts, and open
channels; hydrology; water demand, quality
requirements, and treatment; production of water
from wells, lakes, rivers, and seas; transmission
and distribution of water supplies; design of
reservoirs and dams; and production of hydroelectric
power. These subjects are addressed in the
