Department of Hydraulic and Hydrologic Engineering

The Department of Hydraulic and Hydrologic Engineering is developing decision support systems for the appropriate operation of drainage control facilities, such as pumping stations and canal gates, as well as water resource prediction models for surface water and groundwater. In addition, we are developing irrigation water distribution models to enable the equitable allocation of irrigation water resources. Through these efforts, we aim to address water-related challenges in agricultural fields.
