MSC THESIS (40EC)

What if deltas were not protected against flooding? What if beaches no longer existed for recreation, and rivers and coastal seas lost their incredible value for nature? What if major ports like Shanghai and Rotterdam could not expand through land reclamation? Can we imagine a world without hydraulic engineering? Hydraulic engineers analyse and model natural systems, develop state-of-the-art infrastructure solutions, and implement them in practice. They do so in the context of climate change, economic growth, rapid urbanisation and increasing environmental awareness. Hydraulic engineering is fundamental to healthy ecosystems and prosperous societies.
