Water Management and Land Reclamation

What is taught in this programme

Students in Water Management and Land Reclamation learn how to use water efficiently and how to design and operate irrigation and drainage systems. The core subjects include mathematics, physics, hydraulics, hydrology and engineering drawing. Training is offered at 7 higher education institutions.

• fundamentals of hydraulics and hydrology;
• hydraulic structures and pumping stations;
• design of irrigation and drainage systems;
• soil science and land reclamation;
• water resources management and water-saving technologies;
• geodesy and computer-aided design.

Practical classes, field work and laboratory experiments help consolidate theoretical knowledge.
