Land and Water Resources Engineering

Welcome to the web pages of ABE’s Land and Water Resources Engineering focus area. We work to develop engineered solutions and best management practices that protect and conserve the soil and water resources of Iowa, our nation, and the world.

We teach, conduct research and provide extension services on topics such as water quality and pollution control, hydrology and drainage, and remote sensing and modeling.
