solutions and approaches to integrated water resource management. As a result, the market for safe, available water and for the infrastructure and technologies that treat and transport water is expected to continue to grow rapidly as stakeholders look for new solutions and approaches to integrated water resource management. Inefficiency in existing aging infrastructure hampers the ability of utilities to adequately meet the future demands of urban environments, yet despite this growing need for a

Biodiversity is often drastically altered, resulting in changes in breeding and predation patterns which, in turn, lead to species extinction and

Civil Engineering. In today's society we can't imagine our infrastructures without the help of civil engineers. It all started with the ancient civilizations. It started off with the Egyptians and the Mayans. In this essay I will discuss the history of civil engineering ,famous engineers and the prospects of engineering in the future years. Engineering is one of the oldest professions. About 4400 years ago Imhotep, the first documented engineer , built a famous stepped pyramid of King Zoser located

To someone, the job of civil engineers may just be designing how to build a building or an infrastructure. To civil engineers, however, their works are far beyond that point. In fact, engineers do not only construct a building. As a civil engineering project has close relationship with the people and environment, engineers should be considerate and responsible to the above sectors. This essay will discuss the social responsibilities of civil engineers. The foremost purpose of a civil engineering
