The programme produce graduate professionals to design and manage efficient irrigation, water resources systems and waste water management in agricultural production in the face of climate change. These are engineers with social and humanity essentialsneeded for self-employment and employable attributes in industry, consultancy, public services, private sector and NGOs.
Irrigation engineers for efficient irrigation system and sustainable water resources are made in SUA
