The Hydraulics, Water Resources and Environment Division (SHRHA) is responsible for pedagogical coordination in the disciplinary area of Hydraulics, Water Resources and Environment in the Civil Engineering and Geo-Resources Department (DECG) of FEUP. SHRHA is responsible for several Curricular Units (UCs) of the Bachelor's, Master's and PhD programmes in Civil Engineering, and also collaborates in CUs of other study cycles.

The SHRHA Division brings together all the professors, researchers, technicians, scholarship holders and postgraduate students in the field of Hydraulics, Water Resources and the Environment, and is responsible for or collaborates in UCs of various of Study Cycles.

In the Bachelor in Civil Engineering (L.EC), it is responsible for ‘Hydraulics 1’ and ‘Hydraulics 2’, and also collaborates on ‘History of Civil Engineering’, ‘Project FEUP’ and ‘Capstone Project’.

In the Master in Civil Engineering (M.EC) it is responsible for the UCs: ‘Hydrology and Urban Hydraulics’; “Coastal and Maritime Hydraulics”; “Fluvial Hydraulics”; “Sustainability and Climate Changes”; “Computational Hydraulics”; “Hydro Power Plants”; “Water Supply Systems”; “Urban Drainage Systems”; “Maritime Works”; “Treatment, Reutilisation and Desalinisation”; “Hydric Resources and Protected Areas Management” and “Hydraulics Dissertation”. The aim of these UCs is to provide knowledge in the following areas:

• Conception, design, execution and observation of various maritime and harbour structures;
• Interaction phenomena between sea waves and solid boundaries and coastal/port structures;
• Physical aspects, interfaces and interactions in maritime and coastal zones through maritime hydrodynamics and coastal hydromorphology;
• Design and planning of port facilities and coastal defence systems;
• Hydro power plants, namely: design, hydraulic and structural evaluation, environmental incidences inherent to the establishment of the project and its execution;
• Design and management of water supply systems;
• General river engineering and environmental aspects to be considered in the conception, design, execution and supervision of a small or medium-sized hydroelectric schemes;
• Methodologies and tools for qualitative assessment of water flow in a drainage basin and forecasting its quality in order to draw up pollution control and water resource utilisation strategies;
• Design, construction and operation of drainage and wastewater treatment systems;
• Conception and Design of Hydraulic Projects: Studies, Projects, Construction and Supervision, as well as the preparation of Written and Drawn Parts.

Most of SHRHA's professors and researchers are part of CIIMAR - Interdisciplinary Centre for Marine and Environmental Research of the University of Porto, carrying out scientific and applied research in the following areas:

• Coastal and Maritime Studies;
• Water Resources and River Hydraulics.
