Course Description
Water Resource Engineering is the offshoot of civil engineering that involves the design of new systems and equipment that help manage human water resources. Some of the areas that Water Resource Engineers work in are water treatment facilities, underground wells, and natural springs.
Water Resource Engineers are responsible for creating new equipment and systems to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of water treatment and aquatic resource management. A typical workday involves the analysis of data from relevant areas, then designing new or improved facilities to enhance the cleansing effects of the water treatment system.
A Water Resource Engineer must take budgetary constraints, government regulations, and other factors into consideration when designing these systems. A Water Resource Engineer may then oversee the construction and implementation of these systems to ensure that they are properly assembled. Upon completion, they may manage the maintenance of these systems.
