    Water resources engineering is the quantitative study of the hydrologic cycle and how water is distributed through the atmosphere, land, and oceans. It involves measuring surface runoff and studying infiltration, storage, and evaporation. Applications include managing urban water supply and storm sewer systems, designing dams and other hydraulic structures, managing waterways, and predicting pollution transport. Civil engineers play a key role by designing and operating modern water resource systems to efficiently manage water treatment and distribution while meeting regulations and demands.

    The key takeaways are that water is essential for survival and has many uses including aquaculture, domestic, industrial, agricultural, mining, public and power generation uses.

    Some applications of water resources engineering include management of urban water supply, design of storm sewer systems, flood forecasting, design of hydraulic structures, management of waterways, and environmental management.

    Some duties of a water resources engineer include designing and supporting water treatment facilities, natural springs, underground wells, land development projects, master plans, water distribution systems, storm and wastewater systems, and reducing emergency response times.

    According to https://www.mcgill.ca/civil/undergrad/areas/water,

    Water resources engineering is the quantitative study of the


    hydrologic cycle -- the distribution and circulation of water linking
    the earth's atmosphere, land and oceans. Surface runoff is
    measured as the difference between precipitation and abstractions,
    such as infiltration (which replenishes groundwater flow), surface
    storage and evaporation. Applications include the management of
    the urban water supply, the design of urban storm-sewer systems,
    and flood forecasting.
    Applications include
    the design of hydraulic
    structures, such as
    sewage conduits, dams
    and breakwaters, the
    management of
    waterways, such as
    erosion protection and
    flood protection, and
    environmental
    management, such as
    prediction of the
    mixing and transport
    of pollutants in surface
    water.
    Hydroelectric-power
    development, water supply,
    irrigation and navigation are
    some familiar applications
    of water resources
    engineering involving the
    utilization of water for
    beneficial purposes. More
    recently, concern for
    preserving our natural
    environment and meeting
    the needs of developing
    countries has increased the
    importance of water
    resources engineering.
    Role of Civil Engineers
    A civil engineer plays a crucial role in the optimal design and
    planning as well as the operation of modern water resource systems.
    This field involves in-office as well as on-site work at the
    construction sites and water resource engineers may also work in
    industrial settings when supervising the maintenance activities on
    advanced equipment.
    A skilled and well-trained water resources engineer can create
    new systems and equipment to increase the efficiency and
    effectiveness of water resource management and water treatment.
    Water resources engineers analyze data from different areas to
    design new systems or improve existing facilities to improve the
    cleansing effects of local water treatment systems. Even as they do
    this, they have to take into consideration government regulations,
    budgetary constraints, future requirements and more.
    Water Resource Engineer duties can include:
    • Water treatment facilities • Natural springs • Underground
    wells • Support land development projects • Generate master
    plans • Optimize water distribution system operations •
    Storm water and wastewater systems • Design plans and
    systems that intelligently and safely deliver clean water •
    Make reliable renewal decisions • Accurately model water
    system operations • Deliver high-quality design solutions with
    minimal capital investments • Reduce emergency response
    time
    A water resource engineer develops new
    systems and equipment for all levels of water
    resource management facilities. The systems
    designed by these engineers ensure that the
    public is provided with a constant supply of
    uncontaminated and clean water for living,
    drinking as well as recreational purposes.
