My speciality

( для студентов специальности «Комплексное использование и охрана водных ресурсов»)

I’m a second-year student of the Faculty of Nature Management. I’m studying to be an engineer in the field of water resources management.

Water resources are sources of water that are useful to humans. Uses of water include agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities. All of these human uses require fresh water.

Fresh water is a renewable resource, yet the world's supply of clean, fresh water is steadily decreasing. Water demand already exceeds supply in many parts of the world.

As a specialist in this area I’ll be responsible for the rational utilization of water resources and for the protection of environment. I’ll also take part in the construction and reconstruction of irrigation projects.

It is estimated that 69% of worldwide water use is for irrigation. That’s why we study different irrigation methods such as furrow and overhead sprinkler irrigation, drip or trickle irrigation, surge irrigation, and some other. We learn how to apply different types of sprinkler systems. Any system that is improperly managed can be wasteful. All methods have the potential for high efficiencies under suitable conditions, appropriate irrigation timing and management. We must learn how to improve irrigation methods and technologies, agricultural water management, and water monitoring.

Water pollution is one of the main concerns of the world today. Sewage, sludge, garbage, and even toxic pollutants are all dumped into the water. It is very important to find solutions to reduce this problem. Water protection is one of the main tasks for the specialists in water resources management.
