What is Water Resources Engineering?
Water Resources Engineering study program or also known as Water Engineering is a study program that studies civil engineering in planning, designing, operating, and maintaining water structures related to water resources. Examples of water structures in question are hydroelectric power plants, irrigation and drainage buildings in rice fields, urban drainage systems and buildings, reservoirs, and others. In this study program we will also learn about the techniques of managing and utilizing the right water resources, and managing environmental impacts and pollution of water resources. This study program is arguably multidisciplinary because it includes Civil Engineering, Planology, Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), including Agriculture.
Why did you choose this programme?
The irrigation system is very important to be managed properly. This management is not only for irrigating agricultural land, but also for urban drainage. A city that has a poor drainage system can cause problems such as flooding. Because this study program is a multidisciplinary study program, here you will get a lot of knowledge in engineering. In addition, universities in Malaysia that hold this study program are still limited. So, the competitor of the study program graduates is still relatively small, while experts in the field of irrigation techniques are needed.
