Scopes of Water Resource Engineering
• To arrive the total discharge of water from rainfall from catchment areas
• To design the reservoir capacity to store the water
• Water quality management and pollution control.
• Scope for usage of water for garden and recreational centers.
• Design of water supply systems for the cities and industries.
• Flood mitigation, land drainage and culverts for control of water.
6. Scopes of Irrigation Engineering
• To understand system of irrigation and command area development aspects
• To supply the water to the irrigation land to grow the crops as per the requirement
• To improve the ground water storage of the land.
