 Water Resources Engineering
Water resource engineers help plan for
water use and treatment. Water resources engineer
jobs are found in local, state or federal
government agencies and in private corporations.
They usually spend most of their days planning
and mapping for a specific location’s water needs,
and may need to occasionally travel to more
accurately assess the local water resource
situation.
What does a Water Resources Engineer do?
Before you decide to pursue a career as a water resources engineer, it's beneficial to answer the question, “What
does a water resources engineer do?”. These professionals usually complete the following duties

• Design and oversee the construction of water supply systems

A water resources engineer designs and oversees the building of new dams, reservoirs, canals, and pipelines. They
also design water supply systems for cities and towns. An engineer often creates a layout of the proposed system and uses
computer simulations to test it for efficiency.
• Oversee the construction of sewage treatment systems
Sewage treatment plants treat sewage before the city safely reintroduce it
into the water supply. A wastewater engineer usually oversees the design and construction
of these plants, making sure that they produce clean effluent. They also make sure that the
plant operates within environmental regulations.

• Calculate the impact of dams and reservoirs

A water resources engineer study how changes to aquatic habitats impact
wildlife and marine life, such as fish and seaweed. They calculate how much a dam store

water for use by cities and towns at different times of the year. Engineers also calculate
the needed amount
of reservoir space required to supply drinking water for a city or
town.

• Conduct field tests

Before working on any major project, engineers survey the
Objectives of
project
proposed location. They determine whether the area supports the water
infrastructure, identifying any soil and geological conditions that may affect the
performance of a dam or levee.
 Water Resources
A weir is a building used to raise the water level
in a river to the height necessary for the water to
flow into irrigation canals and rice fields.

Reservoirs are artificial lakes or enlarged natural

lakes formed by damming rivers with the aim of
storing water. Reservoirs are usually built in
river valleys.
