Department of Water Management and Hydrological Science
Water resources—essential to humankind—have become even more critical as the world's population expands, climate change brings new challenges and technology both enhances and depletes resources.
The Water Management and Hydrologic Science program in the College of Geosciences provides a unique interdisciplinary approach to all aspects of water management, conservation and protection with three separate degree options.
The degree is designed for students with technical backgrounds to complement their primary discipline by obtaining scientific, technical, or managerial expertise in water. In addition to the water courses students are required to take a research methods class and a statistics class from the designated list.
