👉 Lake engineering is the specialized field focused on the design, construction, and management of artificial lakes to achieve specific environmental, recreational, or economic objectives. This includes the planning and execution of dam and reservoir construction to control water levels, prevent flooding, and create stable water bodies. Engineers also design water intake and outflow systems to manage inflow and outflow, ensuring consistent water levels for various uses such as irrigation, drinking water supply, and hydroelectric power generation. Additionally, lake engineering involves habitat restoration, erosion control, and water quality management to maintain ecological balance and support aquatic life. By integrating hydrological, geological, and environmental sciences, lake engineers ensure that these artificial lakes are sustainable, safe, and beneficial for both human communities and natural ecosystems.
