Thanks to this postgraduate diploma you will be at the forefront of the most recent innovations in Hydraulic Infrastructure”

The problem of water scarcity tends to worsen in regions where there is already a deficit, for example, in areas where rainfall is infrequent. Being a dry environment, the ways or methods of water harvesting may be different from a humid space. Therefore, professionals in this area have been implementing the most recent water harvesting techniques to avoid the lack of an indispensable resource in the life of human beings. All this through a due hydrological process, which will also help to preserve the environment. 

The graduates will not only deepen their knowledge of catchment and its methods in general, but will also strengthen their competences in the development of specialized skills to carry out flood studies in fluvial areas. In this sense, this postgraduate diploma will provide the professionals with updates on the Hydraulic Infrastructures of Catchment and Storage and the analysis of sub-disciplines such as Hydrology and Hydraulics.

In this way, students will be able to broaden their skills in specific areas of the field of study such as Typical, Unitary, dimensionless and triangular hydrographs, being these the hydrological parameters of watersheds. A program that integrates a specialized teaching team and at the same time, supported with a multimedia content of the highest quality offering convenience and time flexibility.

That is why TECH has in mind the excellence and comfort where it provides the most updated, innovative and exclusive material, being a program in which you will only need an electronic device with Internet access. This way you will be able to access the virtual platform from the comfort of the place where you are, and thus open your lessons without any schedule problem.
