HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING
Hydraulic engineering has been and still is a very important field of engineering in The Netherlands and the rest of the world. Hydraulic structures help to connect and thereby develop and determine the growth of the world’s economies and also defend us against the rising seawater levels and increasing river discharges. With ever growing economies and with global warming and it’s possible negative effects on the earth’s climate, hydraulic engineering will remain very important in the very near future.
