Water Resource Management

According to the World Bank, over 40% of the world population lives in water scarce areas. At the same time, feeding 10 billion people by 2050 will require a 50% increase in agricultural production. It’s obvious that we need more water. When you face these two sobering facts it is no wonder that water security is considered one of the great challenges of our time. The world needs water resource managers today, to make the right decisions for tomorrow.

Water Resource Managers bridge the gap between whole-scale development and protection of the environment, between engineering and conservation. They play an important role in satisfying the needs of stakeholders. Some oversee major projects while others assess environmental and economic impacts, advising on likely outcomes before a decision is made. It’s all about balance.
