About Water Resource Engineering
Water resources engineers work to understand and manipulate water systems, both natural and man made, as well as the interaction between civilizations and water. Water resources engineering is a subset of the intersection of civil and environmental engineering. Water resources engineers may work in many different environments. Areas of specialization for water resources engineers are varied. Job prospects for both civil and environmental engineers look to be strong.
Water resources engineering has its roots in the tasks of supplying water for human use, removing water when humans are finished using it, and developing methods of avoiding damage from excess water. Much of the work of water resource engineers involves the planning and management of constructed facilities that address these tasks.
