Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering Division
The Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering Division conducts scientific research and educational activities in key areas of civil engineering, including river systems, dams, irrigation infrastructure, flood control, and the integrated planning and management of water resources. The Division aims not only to contribute to the efficient, effective, and sustainable management of existing water resources but also to develop innovative solutions to address the growing water demands of society.
In addition, the Division focuses on contemporary and globally significant research topics such as numerical modeling techniques, hydrological simulations, and the impacts of climate change on the hydrological cycle. Through its scientific outputs and research activities, the Division provides valuable guidance to decision-makers at both regional and national levels. In this way, it plays an important role in the protection, sustainable management, and preservation of water resources for future generations.
