Water resources engineering is the quantitative study of the hydrologic cycle—the distribution and circulation of water linking the earth's atmosphere, land, and oceans. Surface runoff is measured as the difference between precipitation and abstractions, such as infiltration (which replenishes groundwater flow), surface storage, and evaporation. WHAT ARE WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING? Applications include the management of the urban water supply, the design of urban storm-sewer systems, and flood forecasting.  LEO ROY BEARD: THE FOUNDER OF WATER TECHNOLOGY. Main contributions: Co-founder of "Hydrological Engineering": He developed the word and focused on analytical approaches in hydrology. Director of the Hydrological Engineering Centre (HEC): Oversaw the creation of software to tackle hydrological problems and taught engineers. Academic Impact: Director of the Water Resources Research Centre at the University of Texas, mentoring young engineers and students. He is the author of hundreds of articles and reports that influence modern water resource management strategies. SCOPES OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING? Water resources engineering is a specific branch of civil engineering that focuses on modernizing existing systems and equipment to manage people's water resources more effectively. Water treatment facilities, subterranean drilling, and springs are some areas addressed by water resource engineers. SCOPES OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING? To enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of water treatment and aquatic resource management, engineers design modern equipment and systems. SCOPES OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING? When planning such systems, water resource engineers must consider budget constraints, government regulations, and other variables. To ensure these systems are properly assembled, a water resource engineer may be responsible for their design and implementation. They may also supervise the maintenance and support of these systems once completed. REFERENCES https://www.scribd.com/document/686431172/WATE R-RESOURCES-ENGINEERING-2-1 https://www.space4water.org/water/water-resources- engineering ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERS I.

Agriculture and Industry: Reliable water supply boosts agricultural output and supports industrial development. CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS CHALLENGES INCLUDE: High Cost Water resource projects are expensive, and many developing countries face financial barriers to implementation. Environmental Concerns Large projects can cause ecological damage, including habitat loss and displacement of communities.  CASE STUDY CHINA'S THREE GORGES DAM The Three Gorges Dam is a monumental hydroelectric gravity dam that spans the Yangtze River near Sandouping in Hubei province, China. It is the world’s largest power station in terms of installed capacity (22,500 megawatts) and annual power POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE GLOBAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT The Three Gorges Dam has positively impacted power generation, producing 84.7 TWh annually and reducing carbon emissions by 100 million tons. It also provides flood control, protects farmland, improves navigation, and boosts economic growth through enhanced trade and tourism, while supporting global climate efforts by lowering coal use. However, it caused displacement for over 1.4 million people and led to environmental issues like erosion, biodiversity loss, and increased seismic risks. Despite economic benefits, the dam's high costs—initially $24 billion—remain a concern (L. Gaille,2018).  Arowwai Industries "A DROP OF WATER, IF IT COULD WRITE OUT ITS OWN HISTORY,WOULD EXPLAIN THE UNIVERSE TO US." -LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN  https://www.trvst.world/environment/water-quotes/ References: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02037-w https://www.unwater.org/news/water-drives-job-creation-and-economic- growth-says-new-un-world-water-development-report https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Investing_in_Water_A_Practical_Guide _2024.pdf https://www.unwater.org/publications/un-world-water-development-report- 2024 https://www.epa.gov/green-infrastructure/mitigate-flooding https://concernusa.org/news/water-scarcity-solutions-that-work/ https://www.energy.gov/eere/water/hydropower-basics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_management https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_treatment https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/homeowners-guide-to-irrigation- systems/ https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/waterresourcesmanagement https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/water-stress-global-problem-thats- getting-worse https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/dams/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Gorges_Dam https://www.britannica.com/topic/Three-Gorges-Dam https://vittana.org/11-important-three-gorges-dam-pros-and-cons  BSCE TALKS Water Resources Engineering Solutions IMPACTS - PART 2 Presented by Daniel Dy Martirez  POSITIVE IMPACTS OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT Sustainable Implementation Restoration of Water of Green Natural Management Infrastructure Waterways Practices  POSITIVE IMPACTS OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT Sustainable Implementation Restoration of Water of Green Natural Management Infrastructure Waterways Practices Sustainable Water Management Practices Sustainable water resources ensures that water is used efficiently, conserved, and managed in a way that meets the current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet Sustainable Water Management Practices Includes: Improved Water Quality Reduced Water Scarcity Resilience Against Climate Change  POSITIVE IMPACTS OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT Sustainable Implementation Restoration of Water of Green Natural Management Infrastructure Waterways Practices  POSITIVE IMPACTS OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT Sustainable Water Implementation Restoration of Management Natural of Green Practices Waterways Infrastructure Implementation of Green Infrastructure Implementation of Green Infrastructure involves creating systems that mimic natural processes to manage water and create healthier urban environments Implementation of Green Infrastructure Key Benefits: Reduced Flood Risks Enhanced Biodiversity Improved Air Quality Provision of Recreational Spaces  POSITIVE IMPACTS OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT Sustainable Water Implementation Restoration of Management Natural of Green Practices Waterways Infrastructure  POSITIVE IMPACTS OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT Sustainable WaterImplementation of Restoration of Management Green Natural Practices Infrastructure Waterways Restoration of Natural Waterways Restoring natural waterways involves returning altered or degraded water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands, to a more natural or functional state. Restoration of Natural Waterways Leads to: Improved Water Quality Enhanced Habitat for Wildlife Reduced Flood Severity Increased Biodiversity Resilience to Climate Impacts  POSITIVE IMPACTS OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS IN THE SOCIETAL CONTEXT Improved Access Reduction of Enhanced to Clean Water Waterborne Agricultural Diseases Productivity  POSITIVE IMPACTS OF WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS IN THE SOCIETAL CONTEXT Improved Reduction of Enhanced Access to Clean Waterborne Agricultural Water Diseases Productivity Improved Access to Clean Water Access to clean water is a fundamental societal benefit as it supports public health, economic activities, and overall well-being.
