Water Resource
Water Resources
Water resource engineers protect water supplies and ensure that development of new resources does not disrupt natural processes and water tables. They help in the assessment of pollution sources, the control of flood damage and soil erosion, and the resolution of conflicts over water reserves.
   
Examples

Water resource engineers are involved in:
Monitoring water quality
Managing water treatment plants to ensure proper water filtration
Developing new technologies such as desalinization equipment to make salt water drinkable for ocean communities

Engineering in your Community

The human body can last weeks without food but only days without water. Water is our most precious natural resource. Too many First Nations communities have been without safe drinking water for too long.

Native water resource engineers give our people the expertise needed to understand government reports about contamination sources and move forward on recommendations. With an understanding of modern science and respect and knowledge for the land, water resource engineers from our communities can help avoid ground-water contamination and play an integral role in ensuring that everyone in the community stays healthy.
