Department of Water Engineering Sciences

The Water Engineering Sciences Department of Lorestan University commenced its activities in 2005 to train specialized students in the field of water science and engineering. The main objective of the Water Engineering Department is to familiarize graduates of this field with the management and proper use of water, especially in the agricultural sector. Therefore, a water engineer must be familiar with water and its characteristics, how to extract, transport water to the point of consumption, and manage and use water.

Therefore, students admitted to the undergraduate program in this field must complete a four-year course of 140 credit units in various fields of water science, including; meteorology, hydrology, groundwater, water resources, hydraulics, water quality, and the design of distribution and water transmission networks. Graduates of the Water Engineering program, according to their specialization, can work in various fields of water science and engineering, including; studies and operation of surface and groundwater resources, design of pressurized irrigation systems and surface irrigation, design of water structures, land drainage, design of water transmission networks, implementation and supervision of water projects, management and operation of irrigation and drainage networks.

Graduates of the Water Engineering Sciences program have the opportunity to be employed in government departments and consulting engineering companies, especially as experts and technical managers in water organizations and regional water companies, Jihad-e-Agriculture, water and wastewater companies, and other related institutions.

The Water Engineering Sciences Department of Lorestan University has 11 full-time faculty members with specializations in irrigation and drainage, water structures, and water resources management. In addition to the undergraduate program, it trains students in the fields of water structures and irrigation and drainage for doctoral and master's degrees, and in the field of water resources management for the master's degree.
