Abstract

It is the responsibility of water resources engineering to control and regulate water to serve a wide variety of purposes. Certain fields of water resources engineering — such as flood control, land drainage, sewerage, and highway culvert design deal primarily with the control of adverse effects of water. Water supply, irrigation, and hydroelectric power development are the three major fields which serve the utilization of water for beneficial purposes. It is basically in these fields that the largest water resources systems are developed. In recent years, pollution control or water-quality management has become an important phase of water resources engineering.
