Hydraulic Engineering

Hydraulic engineering is a branch of civil engineering focused on managing and directing water resources. It involves designing and building systems like dams, flood control infrastructures, canals, and pipelines to control water flow for various purposes, including water supply, irrigation, hydropower, and flood prevention. It combines principles of fluid mechanics, environmental science, and engineering to ensure safe, efficient, and sustainable water management. Hydraulic engineers analyze how water moves and shape land and structures to harness or protect against water’s power effectively.
