Water Resources Engineering

UofG’s Water Resources Engineering is a one-of-a-kind program that has been producing highly qualified graduates since the 1970’s. Our researchers are involved in investigating and designing systems for the control and utilization of land and water resources as part of an effort to best manage our urban & rural watersheds. As well, research is focused on, but not limited to, the following fields: environmental hydraulics, water supply infrastructure, groundwater flow & contaminant transport, water supply security, the remediation of groundwater systems and drainage and irrigation systems.

This breadth of expertise positions us well to push the boundaries of what we know about engineering sustainable solutions through the application of innovative technologies. Aligning well with the rest of the School of Engineering and the University of Guelph’s research expertise, the Water Resources Engineering group strives to make a difference every day by driving these pursuits while also training and preparing the next generation of highly qualified engineers.
