Introduction WRE

This document discusses water resources engineering and management. It aims to help students understand water resources issues at local, national, and global scales through studying hydrologic processes. By the end of the class, students will be able to qualitatively and quantitatively describe the main processes in the hydrologic cycle and provide solutions to typical water resources problems in practice, such as securing water for people through understanding hydrologic and hydraulic processes or providing sufficient water while mitigating excess water or water shortage.

WATER RESOURCES

Learning Objectives
Water Resources Engineering is about solving problems to
secure water for people, based on a scientific understanding
of hydrologic and hydraulic processes. This includes
protection from excess water and from water shortage, as
well as providing sufficient water for a sustainable
environment.
At the end of this class you will:
• be aware of water resources issues at local , national and
global scale,
• be able to qualitatively and quantitatively describe the main
processes in the hydrologic cycle, and
• be able to provide solutions for typical water resources
problems found in practice.

The water resources are composed of all

• Surface water potential (rivers, lakes, …)


• Underground water potential (groundwater…)
Water resources system
• It is a system that control, utilize and manage
water in an efficient manner
What are the systems:
• Dams
• Water supply systems
• Waster water collection systems
• Treatment plants
• Flood mitigation
• There are two significant factors for water
pollution

• Growing population
• Advancement in technology
