Overview

About the programme

The research focus in this Land and Water Resources Engineering programme at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is on the requirements of a sustainable society, and includes an understanding of processes, technological development and social means of control. The technologies we develop are based largely on direct interaction with natural resources and are aimed at a sustainable and cost-effective use of these resources.

The broad range of thesis topics and interaction between the various research groups within the department strengthen the scientific environment and promote the interdisciplinary research needed to solve major environmental problems.
