The Water Resources Management programs are designed to prepare students for employment across the full spectrum of the water industry, including municipal drinking water and wastewater treatment departments, industrial treatment facilities, and a growing range of environmental water-management fields. Careers in water and wastewater technology involve the administration, operation, and maintenance of drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities, as well as distribution and collection systems. In addition, emerging roles in water conservation, water planning, watershed management, stormwater management, and water-efficiency program development are becoming increasingly important as communities work to manage water sustainability.

Gavilan’s Water Resources Management Program provides educational courses that prepare students for rewarding careers throughout the water sector. Coursework supports students in preparing for certification examinations administered by the State of California and by leading professional associations within the water and wastewater industry. Additionally a new curriculum also introduces students to environmental and resource-management concepts essential for careers in water conservation, water-use analysis, drought-response planning, sustainable water policy, and water-efficient infrastructure.

Explore exciting, impactful, and well-paying careers in the water industry. Learn how to enter the field, what types of jobs are available from treatment operations to water-efficiency program management, how to advance, and where to get hired.
