3. DATA ENGINEERS OF WATER
RELATED PROJECTS
The data engineers develop and apply technology-enabled, digital solutions to some of the world’s most pressing
water-related challenges to harness the power of data, advanced analytics, and modelling for acquiring real-time
insights at the global, regional, and local levels. The jobs of data engineers include but are not limited to hydrodynamic
modelling, water quality modelling of inland and coastal water systems, weather management, operational
management systems etc. where technologies of data analysis are required to be implemented for the identification
andsolutionoftherealproblemswhichimpendsthe optimal utilizationoftheavailablewaterresources.

4. INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT FOR DETECTION OF
VARIOUS WATER-RELATED PARAMETERS
Water quality testing instruments are used to test water for chemical and biological agents, and to measure variables such as clarity and rate of movement. These
instruments provide a standard tool that can be used to collect information from various water sources. Water quality testing instruments can monitor water
temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, nitrogen/phosphorus concentration, turbidity, macroinvertebrates, and levels of pesticides and toxic chemicals.
Engineers with knowledge in data aswell aswater resources arerequired to solve the maintenance andupgradation-related issues ofsuch instruments.
Also, todesign a new instrument multidisciplinary knowledge is requiredspecially fromthe field ofcivil, electrical, electronics andmechanical engineering.
The person must also be acquainted with the advanced software technologies as most instruments nowadays operate with the help of software. That is why this job is
most suitable and also most desired by a hydro informatics engineer as such courses have the interdisciplinary topics required to work in this field of instrument
design, development andmaintenance.
