Expound:
￮ What is water resources?
￮ Water resources are sources of
water that are useful or
potentially useful to humans.
It is important because it is
needed for life to exist. Many
uses of water include
agricultural, industrial,
household, recreational and
environmental activities.
Virtually all of these human
uses require fresh water.

3
The four major groundwater
reservoirs are in:
• Cagayan
• Central Luzon
• Agusan
• Cotabato.

4
There are 438 major dams and 423
smaller dams.

Dams - are barriers that stops

or restricts the flow of water
or underground streams.
Reservoirs - most commonly, an
enlarged natural or artificial
lake, pond or impoundment
created using a dam or lock to
store water.

They are mainly used for: water

storage, water supply,
irrigation, regulation of flood,
and hydropower 5

1 What is
Water
Resource
Engineering?
 Water Resource Engineering

“
is a specific kind of civil engineering
that involves the design of new
systems and equipment that help
manage human water resources.
Some of the areas Water Resource
Engineers touch on are water
treatment facilities, underground wells,
and natural springs.

8
 ￮ Water Resource Engineers not

“
only design these water
management systems, but often
oversee the construction and
maintenance of these systems as
well. An increasing population and
continuous need for more water
stimulates this fast-growing industry

What does a
Water
Resource
Engineering
do?
10
 ￮ Water Resource
Engineers must create
“ new equipment and
systems to increase the
effectiveness and
efficiency of water
treatment and aquatic
resource management
A typical workday involves the
analysis of data from relevant
areas, then designing new or
improved facilities to enhance
the cleansing effects of the
water treatment system.

12
Big concept
The systems that Water Resource Engineers create
ensure that citizens are provided with a continuous
supply of clean, uncontaminated water for drinking,
13
living, and recreational purposes.
A Water Resource Engineering…
 can work on designing pump systems,
pipelines and treatment plants for handling
wastewater, or black water as it is known in
the industry.
 can also work on flood control projects and
help map out drainage systems for dealing
with water flow.
 . work on fresh water supply systems, such
as those used for drinking water.

14
 ￮ Most Water Resource
Engineers work full-

“ time, with many putting

in more than 40 hours a
week. This extra time
allows them to properly
oversee projects and
assure that everything
is running smoothly.
