Department of Water Sciences

Department of Water Engineering of Lorestan University started its activity in 2004 in line with the training of specialized students in the field of water science and engineering. The main goal of the water engineering department is to familiarize the graduates of this field with the management and proper use of water, especially in the agricultural sector. Therefore, a water engineer should be familiar with water and its characteristics, the method of extraction, the transfer of water to the place of consumption and the way of water consumption.

Therefore, students who are admitted to the undergraduate level of this field must complete 140 courses in various fields of water science in a 4-year period, including; meteorology, hydrology, underground water, water resources, hydraulics, water quality and design of water distribution and transmission networks. Graduates of water engineering, after completing their studies, according to their orientation, can work in various fields of science and water engineering, including; Studies and exploitation of surface and underground water resources, design of pressure irrigation and surface irrigation systems, design of water structures, land drainage, design of water transmission networks, implementation and monitoring of the implementation of water projects, management and exploitation of Irrigation and drainage networks should be put into operation.

Graduates of water engineering field have the possibility to be employed in government offices and consulting engineering companies, especially as experts and technical managements of water organizations and regional water companies, agricultural agriculture, water and sewage companies, and other related institutions.

Water Engineering Department of Lorestan University has 9 full-time faculty members with specializations in irrigation and drainage, water structures and water resources management. In addition to the bachelor's degree, he trains students in the field of hydraulic structures for doctoral and master's degrees and in the field of irrigation and drainage for the master's degree.
