Overview

The Water Resources Management course aims to define the methods used in how to make the best use of water resources. This course deals with the scientific methods used in studying water resources and managing them properly. This course explains the problems of exploiting different water sources through studying underground reservoirs. Where the student learns scientific applications in the field of water and land resources management, as well as analyzes the causes of pollution of various water resources and the environmental effects of that.
