College of Engineering
Hydraulics and water resources.
About The Program
The graduate program in Hydraulics and Water Resources at The University of Iowa prepares students for careers in hydraulics, hydrology, and water resources, by providing a strong theoretical and applied foundation, and a broad-based academic background, necessary for positions in engineering design, research, and academia. The program combines hydraulics, fluid mechanics, hydrology, and water resources, with elements from environmental engineering, meteorology, remote sensing and systems analysis, and related disciplines such as mathematics, statistics, electrical and computer science engineering, geology, and geographical information systems.
The Hydraulics and Water Resources curriculum is associated with IIHR—Hydroscience & Engineering, a world-renowned research institute, where senior staff members of the institute are professors in the program. IIHR offers unique curriculum opportunities in laboratory and field-scale experimentation, and in mathematical modeling with IIHR's high-speed computer facilities.
Most of the faculty members in the Hydraulics and Water Resources program are also part of the Iowa Flood Center, the only academic flood center in the nation. By training and educating a workforce knowledgeable in the flood-related sciences, the Iowa Flood Center provides students with the opportunity to work on improving flood monitoring and prediction capabilities, and on developing models for flood frequency estimation and real-time forecasting.
Admission Requirements
For consideration for financial support, we strongly encourage you to submit your application by January 15.
Decisions on admission to the graduate program, and offers of financial support, are made on a competitive basis. Factors considered include academic background and performance, letters of recommendation, work experience and professional training, and TOEFL scores (when applicable).
The TOEFL exam is required for admission for students whose native language is other than English or that do not have a degree from an English-speaking country. A minimum TOEFL score of 81 for the internet-based exam is required.
Students who do not have an undergraduate B.S. degree in civil & environmental engineering, but who have adequate training in mathematics or science, may be admitted for graduate study in the Hydraulics and Water Resources Program. However, certain undergraduate courses may need to be taken without graduate credit.
HWR Graduate Degree Requirements
The Hydraulics and Water Resources Program offers both masters and Ph.D. degrees.
The MS degree may be earned on either a thesis or a non-thesis basis. The thesis option requires a minimum of 30 hours of credit – 25 semester hours of course work plus 5 semester hours of thesis research credit. The non-thesis option requires a minimum of 31 semester hours of course work. Students seeking financial support should apply for the thesis option.
The Ph.D. degree requires 72 hours of credit beyond the basic undergraduate degree. This requires 43 semester hours or coursework plus 29 semester hours of thesis research credit. A minimum of one year of on-campus residency is required for the Ph.D.

MSc Thesis proposal
Building with nature solutions in flood defenses.
Looking for a student to start straightaway (early 2020).
Applying nature-based solutions in flood defenses is not common practice, because of the lack of design codes and a full understanding of the statistical implications. The effect of nature-based solutions on wave attenuation, involving vegetation, are well-researched. However, implementing nature-based solutions for flood risk reduction demands addressing temporal and spatial variability on local scales. Temporal variability is introduced by seasonal influences, biological influences, and climate change. The interaction with water can introduce spatial variability by natural processes like sedimentation and erosion. The exceedance probabilities of most flood defenses are low, which leaves little room for variability in design. There is variability in nature (both hydrodynamics and vegetation) which introduces uncertainty in design conditions. This uncertainty is sometimes covered by over dimensioning and mostly a different design choice. To prevent over dimensioning, we would like to introduce multidimensional statistical models (such Bayesian Networks (BN) or vine-copulas) in order to capture dependence among variables. On the other hand, nature-based solutions can have the ability to adapt in a changing climate and allowing to contribute to a sustainable flood defense design. Nature-based solutions for crest height reduction of flood defenses are most effective in non-fluvial environments (e.g. lakes and coastal areas). For this master thesis project, we will focus on variability of (a selection of) nature-based solutions for flood defenses. The project aims to develop methods which allow for a safe design and account temporal- and/or spatial variability. Variability could be studied by quantifying dependence of hydraulic (wave height, period, water depth) and vegetation parameters (stem height, frontal width, vegetation density, drag coefficient, forest length) on seasonal variations and spatial locations. The thesis would be carried out at Witteveen+Bos (WB). Solid background in probabilistic design and hydraulic engineering with interest in nature-based solutions would be appreciated. Tentative start is early 2020. Tentative committee is Oswaldo Morales Nápoles (TUD), Tom Wilms (WB), Bart van Es (WB, Daily), Hassan Niazi (TUD). To apply send an email with your transcript of MSc results to Hassan Niazi at [email protected] with CC to Bart van Es at [email protected]. Furthermore, we are open to working together with other partners, contact Bart van Es for collaborations. You can find this proposal on Brightspace as well.
