Water Resources

Objectives:

- Studying water resources developing basic and applied research and technology in this area;

- Producing knowledge and training skilled professionals at a Master’s level with the ability to develop projects, products, innovations, and methodologies for the monitoring, diagnosis and management of watersheds; and

- Providing an understanding of the relationship between water resources and the natural, anthropic environment so as to better use it.

Monitoring and Diagnosis of Water Resources

This line of research focuses on the monitoring of water resources and the development of a diagnosis for further decision-making towards water resources. Additionally, it inter-relates the monitoring and diagnosis with other environmental natural resources, which gives researchers a broader view of the system so that a concise and coherent diagnostic can be given upon the understanding of the correct action to be taken in the environment. In addition to the generation of products and technologies for the monitoring and diagnosis of water resources, this line of investigation also addresses the application of instruments and seeks to work with monitoring mechanisms and equipment as well as information gathering.
