Civil Engineer: Water Resources

Water resource management involves designing and implementing systems for water supply, wastewater collection and treatment, flood control, and stormwater management.
Hydrology involves studying water flow, quality, and hydrologic cycles to assess flood risk and plan water resources.
Water treatment plants remove contaminants and pollutants through coagulation and flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection.
Water distribution systems consist of pipe networks, pumping stations, water storage facilities, and metering and monitoring systems.

Civil Engineer: Construction Management

Project planning involves defining project scope, scheduling, budgeting, resource allocation, and risk management.
Site management involves site layout, materials management, equipment operation, and labor management.
Construction methods include traditional, modular, prefabricated, and sustainable approaches.
Quality control ensures materials testing, workmanship standards, defect reporting, and quality assurance procedures.
