Our graduates are sought by consulting firms, government agencies, and industry because of the broad environmental background taught in hydrology and water resources, coupled with advanced coursework, both theoretical and applied. A field camp experience is also offered each year.
      We were organized in 1966. Today the department is part of the College of Engineering. We have a strong reputation in areas of research in semi-arid regions, with four operating research centers, (EOS/NASA, HyDIS, RESAC, and SAHRA) and also a strong outreach program where students and teachers from over 4000 schools in over 60 countries are working with research scientists to learn more about our planet.
     The department currently has 14 full time faculty members with an additional eleven faculty with joint appointments (and 18 adjunct faculty) to serve the approximately 100 graduate students and 20 undergraduate students currently enrolled in the program. Three of our faculty are distinguished as Regents Professors and several have been given international recognition. The student enrollment includes many people from around the world.
