     Water resources engineering is concerned with the
    collection and management of water (as a natural
    resource).
     As a discipline it therefore combines hydrology,
    environmental science, meteorology, geology,
    conservation, and resource management.
     This area of civil engineering relates to the prediction
    and management of both the quality and the quantity of
    water in both underground (aquifers) and above ground
    (lakes, rivers, and streams) resources.
     Water resource engineers analyze and model very
    small to very large areas of the earth to predict the
    amount and content of water as it flows into, through, or
    out of a facility.

     Although the actual design of the facility may be left
    to other engineers.
     Hydraulic engineering is concerned with the flow
    and conveyance of fluids, principally water. This
    area of civil engineering is closely related to the
    design of pipelines, water supply network, drainage
    facilities (including bridges, dams, channels,
    culverts, storm sewers), and canals.
     Hydraulic engineers design these facilities using
    the concepts of fluid pressure, fluid statics, fluid
    dynamics, and hydraulics, among others.

    • Hydraulics deals with mechanics of water (fluid) flow.
    • Water resource engineering deals with identification &
    utilization of available water resources minimizing the loss.
    Surface water such as river and lake water and
    groundwater are usefully managed.
    • This also deals with ground water utilization, ground water
    recharge and rain water harvesting (‫ألمطار‬--‫ ا‬-‫ مياه‬-‫)وتجميع‬.

    • Irrigation engineering deals with water management for
    agriculture purpose.
    • Dams are constructed at the desired locations to store water
    in reservoir when the supply from river is good and to utilize
    for useful purpose during draught. Canals are built for the
    purpose. During excess input, water is allowed to the main
    river through the body of the dam to avoid flooding.

    • Water management
    involves the use of
    hydrologic and
    hydraulic principles
    to design:
    – Drainage systems,
    – Detention/retention
    ponds,
    – Navigational
    waterways, and
    – Flood control
    levees, dams, and
    lakes.

    – Drainage systems,

    The flow of water through well-defined channels is known


    as drainage.
    • Network of such channels is known as drainage system.

    – Detention/retention ponds,
    - Retention basins have a permanent pool of water and the water
    level is allowed to vary as a result of rain events.
    - Detention basins are not permanently wet; they are
    sometimes called “dry ponds”.
    - Both detention and retention ponds delay runoff and contribute
    to the treatment of storm water through different passive
    treatment processes such as filtration, sedimentation,
    absorption and biological processes.
