a)Flood mitigation, land drainage, sewerage, and highway culvert design are applications of water resources engineering to the control of water so that it will not cause excessive damage to property, inconvenience to the public, or loss of life.
b)Water supply, irrigation, hydro-electric power development, and navigation improvements are examples of the utilization of water for beneficial purposes.
c)Pollution threatens the utility of water for municipal and irrigation uses and seriously despoils the aesthetic value of rivers – hence pollution control or water-quality management has become an important phase of water-resource engineering.
