One of today's most prominent challenges, both on a global and a local scale, is the scarcity of water. Aquifers can be a rich source of water in places where rainwater is in short supply. Courses in groundwater management at UTS teach you how to analyse aquifer behaviour in response to hydraulic stresses and human interaction with the environment. It also gives you knowledge into water resource investigation, contaminated sites, water policy and underground mining's environmental impacts.

This area of study is mostly suitable for those with a background in engineering or science/environmental science including but not exclusive to geology, maths and physics.

UTS graduates who have specialised in groundwater management are in very high demand. The subjects in this major are predominantly distance or block-mode based.

Note: the listing of this major on your academic transcript requires completion of three engineering management subjects in addition to the technical subjects.
