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..
