A degree in Water resources engineering has its roots in the tasks of supplying water for human use, and teaches the art of removing water when humans are finished using it, and developing methods of avoiding damage from excess water (floods). Much of the work of water resource engineers involves the planning and management of constructed facilities that address these tasks.
Their job involves repairing, maintaining and building structures that control water resources (for example, sea defense walls, pumping stations and reservoirs).
