Wastewater Treatment and Reuse

The "Wastewater Treatment and Reuse" (WTR) field trains State Engineers capable of addressing challenges related to the sustainable management of water resources, particularly in the context of water stress and climate change.

This versatile and integrated program covers several disciplines and scientific fields and is directly aligned with the national strategy for sustainable management of natural resources and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Training Objectives:

The main objective of this field is to adapt and strengthen national skills and capacities to understand the use of non-conventional water, as well as water sciences and technologies.

It aims to equip the country with human capacities capable of supporting resilience to water stress and climate change, and promoting the sustainable use and exploitation of water resources.

The WTR program stands out with several major advantages:

- Comprehensive and integrated education: It covers all aspects of wastewater treatment and reuse, from theory to practice.

- Students benefit from two professional internships per year and several educational field trips, allowing them to gain practical experience and strengthen their skills.

- WTR engineers acquire solid skills in water sciences and technologies, as well as abilities in management, communication, and leadership.

- WTR engineers can work in various sectors such as sewage treatment plant, public water management organizations, industry, agriculture, and the environment.

- The WTR program contributes to the valorization of a non-conventional resource and the preservation of water resources.
