Hydraulic

Algeria is located in a region that periodically faces water scarcity and irregularity. Moreover, the challenges related to these resources, both in terms of quantity and quality, continue to grow in importance at the national level due to the combined pressure of population growth (urban development) and the increasing water demand in agriculture (which alone accounts for nearly 70% of water withdrawals). As a result, the sustainable development of agricultural activities, as well as other industrial and urban sectors in the country, is directly threatened by chronic irregularities in the supply of this strategic resource.

Therefore, public organizations and private companies operating in water management, agriculture, land planning, and urban development have an ever-growing and increasingly urgent need for professionals proficient in technical and scientific tools to ensure the optimal management of this strategic resource, both in terms of quality and quantity. To meet the expectations of these stakeholders, the university must offer this degree program and expand the prospects of this field.

Through the courses provided in this program, graduates will have the opportunity to either pursue a Master’s degree or work primarily in the following fields:

• Water mobilization and management
• Risk management related to water
• Urban planning
• Rural planning
• Design and construction of various hydraulic structures
