Natural resources engineering

[3] Some historical examples of applications of natural resources engineering include the Roman aqueducts and the Hoover Dam.

Natural resource engineers often work in a vast variety of environments ranging from urban to rural.

Important historical examples of natural resources engineering include the Roman aqueducts and the Hoover Dam.

Natural resource engineering is of vital importance in developing regions to address issues such as access to clean drinking water as well as sanitation and sustainable food production.

[citation needed] Areas of research and development in natural resources engineering concerning the hydro-logical cycle include: erosion control, flood control, water quality renovation and management, irrigation, drainage, bio-remediation, air quality, watershed-stream assessment, and ecological engineering.

This cycle is concerned with how water transitions through the environment through the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and transpiration.

[11] Currently, the demand for natural resources engineers is greater than the supply of graduates and ranges locally to globally.

John Krupovage, Natural Resources manager with the 72nd Civil Engineering Directorate, and Dr. Karen Hickman, professor of Natural Resource Ecology and Management at Oklahoma State University and president of the Oklahoma Invasive Plant Council, find invasive blue stem prairie grasses around the Scissortail Trail area of Tinker Air Force Base. Dr. Hickman and her team are helping the Tinker Environmental Management Directorate on a DOD-funded five-year project to kill invasive (non-native) grasses and to restore native prairie grasses to the urban greenway.
