Department of Water Use and Environment

About the department

The Department of Water Use and Environment is a graduating department. It provides training at three levels of education: bachelor's degree in the field of study 08.03.01 "Civil engineering" (educational program specializations "Water supply and sanitation" and "Life-support engineering systems"); master's degree in the field of study 08.04.01 "Civil engineering" (educational program specialization "Water supply and sanitation"); and PhD programs in the field of study 08.06.01 "Construction technique and technology" (educational program specialization "Water supply, sewerage, engineering structures of water resources protection"). The employment of our graduates has never been a problem, and all the knowledge gained by students during their studies is used in their subsequent work in full, and this is not an exaggeration. Many graduates of the department have become major engineers, well-known specialists in the field of water supply and sewerage, leading specialists in design organizations, and have also proven themselves in science.

Students and graduate students can conduct various hydraulic and chemical experiments, as well as studies of water quality indicators on the basis of the departmental laboratories: laboratory of general ecology, water chemistry and wastewater treatment technology, laboratory of water use systems and laboratory of hydraulics.

The Department of Water Use and Environment was founded in 2012 by merging three: the Department of Hydraulics, the Department of Water Disposal and Ecology, and the Department of Water Supply. The united departments now act as subdivisions of the same name. At the same time, the department of water disposal and ecology, as well as the department of water supply, were formed more than 100 years ago, which allows the “new old” Department of Water Use and Environment to be considered one of the most respected and reliable in terms of training specialists..

Welcome from the acting head of the department

Profile
Dear colleagues, friends! Welcome to the webpage of the Department of Water Use and Environment

The Department of Water Use and Environment was created through the merger of three structural divisions of SPbGASU: the Department of Water Supply (founded in 1909), the Department of Water Disposal and Ecology (1888), and the Department of Hydraulics (1976). The combined team preserves and builds on the traditions established over a century ago.

Today, our department employs more than 20 teachers. This is a blend of generations and experience: members of various Russian academies, doctors and candidates of science, professors and associate professors, as well as talented young people – teachers and graduate students who strive to adopt the best traditions and continue the common cause.

I'd especially like to emphasize that many of our instructors are practitioners. This allows us to provide students with the most relevant information, rather than just out-of-touch knowledge. This is key to training sought-after specialists in water supply and sanitation, ecology, and environmental engineering.

Over the years, the department has been home to legendary scientists, true aces of their field—B.K. Pravdzik, M.G. Melnikov, G.N. Nikiforov, I.A. Aptekarev, N.F. Fedorov, S.M. Shifrin, and many others. They laid the foundation that allowed us to participate in the country's largest projects, including the development of flood protection structures for St Petersburg, environmental regulation of wastewater discharge into the Neva Delta, participation in the creation of the General Plan for the city's water supply and sanitation, and regulations for the use of the public utility system.

Today, we are constantly evolving. We have established close scientific ties with leading Russian and international technical universities, as well as established collaboration with the Russian Ministry of Construction, Housing, and Utilities, the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, major research departments, and leading design organizations. As part of this partnership, we regularly conduct field trips to real-world sites and organize conferences and seminars with representatives of leading organizations.

I wish my colleagues fruitful work, new scientific discoveries, and professional success for the benefit of the department and the industry. I wish students success in their studies and remind them: your level of preparation is determined not so much by grades as by knowledge and skills. I invite applicants to become part of our history – an education at the department with centuries-old traditions guarantees employment. I invite partners to collaborate on scientific research, internships, and joint projects – together we address pressing industry challenges and train the next generation of professionals.
