Water Science and Engineering – Irrigation and Drainage is a field focused on the planning, design, operation, and management of water systems for agriculture. Its main goal is to improve water use efficiency, increase agricultural productivity, and protect soil and water resources.

In brief, this discipline deals with:

• Design and management of irrigation systems (surface, sprinkler, and drip irrigation)
• Planning and implementation of drainage networks to prevent waterlogging and soil salinity
• Study of soil–water–plant–climate relationships
• Application of modern technologies for sustainable agricultural water management

Graduates can work in water and agricultural organizations, engineering consulting firms, irrigation and drainage projects, as well as in research and education. This field plays a key role in addressing water scarcity and food security, especially in arid and semi-arid regions.
