M.E. (Irrigation and Water Management Engineering)
Master of Engineering in Irrigation and Water Management Engineering

---

M.E. (Irrigation and Water Management Engineering) or Master of Engineering in Irrigation and Water Management Engineering is a two year post graduate programme. Course covers all phases of irrigation, drainage engineering, hydrology and related water management subjects such as watershed management, weather modification, water quality, groundwater and surface water. The Journal emphasizes new developments and results of research, as well as case studies and practical applications of engineering. Irrigation & Drainage Systems Engineering (IDSE) not only helps researchers and scientists, but also provides the fundamental knowledge of soil physics and soil-water-plant relationships, which are essential in irrigation and drainage engineering for effective control of water logging and salinity maintenance, including research on sedimentation and weed control; techniques for avoiding water-related diseases like malaria, schistosomiasis and more.

Master of Engineering in Irrigation and Water Management Engineering Eligibility     

• B.E./B.Tech. or any other equivalent qualification with minimum 50% marks.

• Some of the very reputed universities and institutes conduct entrance examination to get admission to the degree course.
