3 credits · Undergraduate Programs

Water Resources Engineering focuses on the use and management of land and water resources in rural and urban watersheds and combines elements of other disciplines such as civil engineering, earth sciences and geomatics in a unique combination to address society's concerns and needs around water. This course emphasizes engineering applications of hydrological sciences including rainfall-runoff analysis, reservoir and river flow routing. It also includes statistical data analysis and data interpolation along with the analysis of uncertainty to address water resources issues. Prerequisite(s): Civil Engineering 341 or Mechanical Engineering 341.
