Head of Institution Professor Dr. Muhammad Latif
Status of Institution Semi-Autonomous Federal Institute
Objectives It is realized that training at Bachelor's level is not enough to solve intricate
and complex engineering problems being faced in the development and
management of water resources. To solve water resources problems, a team
of hydrologists, irrigation and drainage engineers, water resources
managers, water resources engineers, geologists, economists, social
scientists, agronomist, soil scientists and environmentalists is required. The
basic training that an engineer receives during his initial degree is limited
and cannot cope with the highly specialized and rapid technological
advancement in the development and management of water resources. He
cannot solve complex water resources problems with the knowledge of the
elementary principles learnt in the basic degree programmes. The Centre
started two M.Phil degree programmes in 1979 in the fields of Hydrology
(HYD) and Water Resources Management (WRM). A 3rd M.Phil degree
programme was started in 1994 in the discipline of Water Resources
Engineering (WRE). The degree program in Hydrology was redesigned as
Engineering Hydrology (EHY). In addition M.Sc. degree was initiated in
the fields of Water Resources Management WRM, Engineering Hydrology
EHY, and Water Resources Engineering WRE. The Centre offered a 4th
postgraduate M.Sc. degree programme in the discipline of Hydropower
Engineering (HPE) in 2000.
