Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering - Hydrotechnical Engineering

Water plays a central role in irrigation, hydroelectric power production, water supply, navigation, flood control, erosion control, fisheries, drainage and land transport of pollutants. The utilization and management of water resources must be accomplished efficiently and economically, yet with assurance that there will be no detriment to the long-term potential of the resource itself or to the general well being and environmental quality of the surrounding region. Meeting these objectives requires great care in assessment, planning, design and management of water resources development. This, in turn, demands an understanding of many areas: the availability, distribution and quality of water, at rest and in motion, as it relates to the analysis and design of hydraulic components and structures, natural processes such as erosion, sedimentation, river mechanics, and coastal processes, and methods for planning and operating the resource system in an optimal way. Responsibility for these activities rests largely with civil engineers.
