Water resources engineering professors at the University of Nebraska conduct a wide variety of research in hydrology, hydraulics, groundwater, water resources systems and education. Their research helps to improve the designs of hydraulic structures so that they do not fail prematurely, improves conservation of limited quantities of surface and groundwater, protects people from polluted water, and helps to advance knowledge about water resources at an international level. In addition, their work has helped to advance new methods for measuring different properties and flow characteristics of water using both local and remote sensing technologies.
