Graduate Program

The climate,  topographic and land use conditions of a region are the main factors which determine the system to be adopted in managing its water resources. In this regard, water related infrastructure has to be well developed, managed and operated to be able to take benefits from these resources for human activities.
Water resources management challenges in tropical regions, particularly, include water supply to meet the demands during the dry season and flood prevention during the rainy season. Various topographic conditions (mountainous, plain, low land) contribute to the complexity of encountered problems in water resources management. Appropriate water regulation system has to be set up to solve water supply and demand problems in different space and time.
The Professional Master Program in Water Resources Management (PMWRM) offered by the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering – Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) is a graduate education to produce experts and specialists with high competency on integrated and comprehensive water resources management mainly in tropical regions. In this program, techniques of water management are given and the students’ knowledge on water resources management is developed through research and case studies. The degree of Master of Engineering (MT) is awarded upon completion of the program.

The Master’s Program in Water Resources Management enhances the knowledge and skill of the students in order to achieve the following qualities:

  • – Capability to carry out water resources management needs analysis and synthesis as well as water resources development policy formulation
  • – Capability to implement the regulations related to water resources management and supervision.
  • – Capability to carry out community services in water resources management

Facilities

Water Resources Engineering Laboratory

Water Resources Engineering (WRE) Laboratory consists of Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics Laboratory and Hydraulic Physical Model Laboratory. The laboratory are facilitated with basic fluid mechanics and hydraulics apparatus for teaching and experimental activities; such as:  Osborne Reynolds  Apparatus, Jet Impacts, Flow Through Closed Conduits, Open Channel, Manometer, Turbulence Meter, Current Meter, Wave Gauge, and PC based Basic Data acquisition System are also available to  support experimental research activities. Field equipment such as Field Current Meter, GPS- Echosounder Optical Level are available to support field data collection.
Basic hydrological system and porous media system are also available for teaching and experimental laboratory works. Adequate space and facilities for hydraulic physical modeling are provided at Hydraulic Physical Model  Laboratory. The laboratory is equipped with Water Recirculation system and Measurement Apparatus as well.

Computer

The day-to-day academic activities are supported by computing facilities. Our computer laboratory provides sufficient units of personal computers connected with LAN and internet and also equipped by multimedia facilities. Up-to-date engineering software including numerical computation, modeling, statistics, CAD, project optimization image processing and geographic information system are available. Its LAN is connected through fiber optic backbone to global internet. Hotspots (Wi-fi) are available within the campus area.

Libraries

The educational and research needs of the program are served by ITB Central Library, which has more than 150,000 collection books and 1000 journal subscriptions. Facilities are available for making computerized bibliographic searches using several databases. E-journal subscriptions include EBSCO, Proudest, SIAM, ACS and Science Direct. O’Neil library information system utilizing Gnash Digital Library (GDL) and Atomize-X engines enhances services to library members. A small collection (about 10,000 volumes) of reference works and heavily used books and journals is maintained in the faculty libraries being managed by each degree program. The GDL provides interconnection between libraries within all degree programs.
