The Soil, Water and Environmental Engineering Program at JKUAT aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges behind one of the foundations of sustainable development - ensuring sufficient and equitable access to clean water. Through their coursework, students acquire technical and analytical skills relevant for analyzing natural systems as well as water-based technologies.
The interdependence of soil, water and environment is evident at multiple levels; from the impact of local watershed management on the quality and quantity of a water resource, to the influence of climate change on precipitation patterns on a regional and global scale. This degree program at JKUAT aims to develop sufficient human capacity to exploit the natural resources and at the same time be capable of handling the concomitant pollution problems from a technological point of view.
