Water-related
problems create continuous challenges to our modern society. As water is
a fundamental element in our planet, wide variety of diverse engineering
fields often encounters water-related difficulties that need to be dealt
with. Construction or rehabilitation of hydraulic structures, supply of
uncontaminated water, management of irrigation systems, and reducing
environmental hazards in surface and groundwater are just few examples
on the complexity of these challenges.
Water Research Center (WRC) is an international center that provides
multidisciplinary research in water resources and environmental
engineering. The center has been established as part of the
International Energy and Environment Foundation (IEEF) to run the
organization activities in the water sector. Our work covers all
water-related engineering issues across various fields. Civil,
environmental, mechanical, and other engineering professionals all
collaborate and work earnestly and creatively to find new solutions and
develop new technologies.
Research areas include, but not restricted to, the following:
-
Performance and
maintenance of hydraulic structures.
-
Surface water / River
regime / Irrigation and drainage / Sediment transport.
-
Water-structure and
Water-soil-structure interactions.
-
Pumping and power
stations.
-
Coastal hydraulics.
-
Hydrology / Water
resources management.
-
Water quality and
pollution control.
-
Groundwater hydrology
and contamination.
-
Impact on the
environment and eco-system.
-
Climate change.
Our center aims to accelerate development and innovation in these
aspects via world-wide collaboration with researchers, engineers and
professionals. Critical thinking and multidisciplinary work are in the
core of our values.
