Water Resources Engineering at University of Guelph at Main

Water resources engineering focuses on the use and management of land and water resources in rural and urban watersheds. The hydrologic and hydraulic behavior of watershed flow systems is combined with engineering science and ecological principles in the design of water management systems and strategies. Water management includes flood prevention, warning and control; drainage; design of natural channels; irrigation; and erosion prevention and control. The supply of water for municipal, industrial and agricultural purposes is considered in the context of resource conservation. Identification of potential point and diffused sources of pollutants is used to develop efficient, environmentally sustainable and economical methods to preserve high-quality water to sustain human life and water-dependent ecosystems. Students will also consider/develop policies for the preservation of water systems, and use geographic information systems for computerized data management. 

Sample Careers: 

  • Emergency spill response engineer
  • Municipal coordinator
  • Watershed manager
  • River control engineer
  • Water resources designer

A principal aim of the Co-op program in Water Resources Engineering is to facilitate the transition of students from academic studies to a professional career by enhancing the integration of theory and practice.
