Introduction :
CWP has been established at the Irrigation & Hydraulics Department, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, in 1998. The Center is chaired by the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and directed by the board consisting of staff professors and members of prominent national organizations. pay someone to write my essay
The Center’s activities are run by its director, who is an engineering professors of Irrigation at the Faculty of Engineering. CWP provides engineering consultations, technical services, research and development work, and continuous engineering education to national establishment and governmental organizations. The Center offers consultation on contractual basis in engineering disciplines related to water projects.
The expertise of the Faculty professors who represents the consultants to the Center, is fully supported by the laboratory and computational facilities, Internet services, as well as libraries of the Irrigation and Hydraulics Department and the Faculty of Engineering to assist in conducting the different activities of the Center.
Main Objectives
The CWP aims at enhancing the quality of research and design works related to water projects, by providing expert consultations and supervision, experimental and field investigations, as well as on the job training of engineers and technicians working in the field of water-related projects.
The main activities of the Center includes the following:
• Hydrology studies for evaluation and enhancement of water resources.
• Hydrology studies for evaluation and management of aquifers.
• Design, execution and testing of water wells.
• Studies and designs related to irrigation and drainage projects and land reclamation.
• Studies and designs of Hydraulic structures.
• Design and planning of pumping stations.
• Studies and designs of water canals and pipe networks.
• Studies and designs of water hammer protection works.
• Studies and designs of Nile River structures and navigation.
• Environmental impact assessment studies for water projects.
• Preparation of economic feasibility studies for water projects.
• Performing laboratory experiments and tests related to local water problems.
• Organization of specialized workshops for engineers and technicians.
• Establishing continuous contact with other Universities, Research Centers and Organizations working in the same or in related fields.
• Preparation and development of educational and teaching aids.
