Hydraulics is the branch of civil engineering related to the science of water in motion, and the interactions between the fluid and the surrounding environment. It is shown that hydraulic engineers were at the forefront of science for centuries. The end of the 20th century marked a change of perception in our society for hydraulic engineering. Is there a need for further hydraulic engineering ?...

The principles of irrigation and drainage in cracking soils differ markedly from non-cracking soils, and are not thoroughly understood. This paper presents a conceptual model to simulate water and salt flows in cracking soils of the Imperial Valley, CA, in the presence of ground water that contributes partially to ET demand of crops. A salt reactivity function is introduced in the model to acco...

The disinfection of raw water plays an important role in environmental engineering. In this document we overview several feedback controllers proposed by different authors to purify the water contained in water distribution systems. Several techniques to purify the water and the sensors needed as part of the whole system are presented to provide an overview of the components and processes encou...

The Doctorate in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering has been operating since the academic year 2008/2009. The program introduces doctoral students to the world of research on key theoretical and technological elements associated with water, environment, hydraulic and transportation infrastructures, geology, as well as geomatics. In this context, the program is grounded on environmenta...

One of the most important subjects in relation of water resources quality in the many of river is the chemical composition of waters and conservation of water quality in the watershed. Geological formations in any region of the earth are the main surface and foundation that water flows on the bed and strata of formation, which in fact they affect their characteristics on water quality as positi...
