TECH will provide you with solid knowledge to achieve the objectives you have set in your professional area with the most current content in Dam Design and Water Collection”

The establishment in arid or semi-arid areas of the planet forced the development of ways to collect rainwater as an alternative for crop irrigation and domestic consumption. This gave rise to different ways of collecting and reusing, as well as supplying the liquid, where two of the mechanisms currently used in rural and urban areas are surface and subway water catchments. In this sense, experts have conducted a series of researches nurturing their knowledge and implementing new methods, verifying the effectiveness of each of them, taking into account the terrain and climate. Currently, these bases are still assigned to the field of Hydraulic Engineering. 

In this sense, research in this area of knowledge has continued to advance, giving answers to different doubts and unresolved questions, without forgetting that engineering professionals will have to continue updating themselves in the field, thinking now also in the realization of actions that involve environmental preservation. Thus, this postgraduate certificate will provide the professionals with updates on the Design of Dams and Water Catchment with a focus on Hydraulic Works. 

The students will guide their knowledge from the basics of dam design, according to its typology and the main parameters for the selection of treatment systems focused on drinking water treatment processes. In addition, this is a program that integrates a highly experienced teaching team, along with excellent quality audiovisual material that guarantees a first class academic process with a 100% online modality.  

Likewise, TECH thinks about comfort and excellence. That is why this postgraduate certificate offers the most complete and exclusive update, where it also achieves time flexibility by only needing an electronic device with Internet connection and thus, access without difficulty to the virtual platform from the comfort of your home. 

Experts have conducted a series of researches implementing new methods in water harvesting and with TECH, you will not be left behind”
