👉 Aquatic engineering is the application of engineering principles to design, construct, and maintain structures and systems that interact with water environments. This field encompasses a wide range of activities, from designing dams and levees to create flood control and water storage solutions, to developing underwater tunnels and pipelines for transportation and resource extraction. It also involves the creation of artificial reefs to enhance marine biodiversity, the construction of breakwaters and seawalls for coastal protection, and the design of hydroelectric power plants to harness renewable energy from water flow. Aquatic engineers must consider factors such as water pressure, corrosion, sedimentation, and environmental impact to ensure the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of these structures in aquatic environments.
