Water scarcity is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today, and is expected to become even more acute in the future. This interdisciplinary program provides the necessary skills to tackle key challenges in the entire water cycle, from resources to waste, including water storage, state-of-the-art desalination technologies, domestic and industrial wastewater treatment, and water pollution. The application of this knowledge is universal across numerous sectors, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, healthcare, agriculture, and others. Having an advanced degree in this important field is an essential addition to those looking for a successful career in these industries.
The program offers a comprehensive coverage of the full hydrologic cycle. Topics include engineering hydrology (hydrologic cycle, precipitation, runoff, flood routing, etc.), water resources and pollution (e.g. water footprint, virtual water, groundwater and ocean pollution), groundwater remediation (mass transport in porous media, contaminant hydrogeology, risk assessment, ex-situ and in-situ remediation methods, etc.), and industrial wastewater treatment (e.g. treatment standards, pollution prevention, waste reduction, design of physico-chemical processes, equalization, neutralization).
The programs covers several advanced topics in desalination, include thermal desalination (solar stills, humidification/dehumidification, single and multiple effect evaporation, etc.), membrane desalination (membrane transport theory, concentration polarization, membrane fouling, reverse-osmosis system design, etc.), material degradation in desalination (corrosion, wear, mitigation practices, acid cleaning, etc.), rate controlled separation processes (e.g. crystallization, adsorption, adsorption, ion exchange, rate based modeling, breakthrough curves).
