Hydrological Engineering

Hydrological engineering is a field that focuses on managing water resources and the movement of water within natural and built environments. It involves designing systems like dams, reservoirs, drainage, and flood control infrastructure to control water flow, prevent flooding, and ensure a reliable supply for communities and ecosystems. The discipline combines principles of hydrology, civil engineering, and environmental science to solve water-related challenges, supporting sustainable development, water conservation, and disaster mitigation. Essentially, hydrological engineers work to understand and optimize how water is managed, stored, and used effectively and safely.
