This two-year diploma prepares students for roles such as water management specialist, watershed planner, or hydrologist, covering water ecosystem preservation, hazard management, and water stewardship supporting economic activity. Coursework includes designing water monitoring initiatives, conducting field measurements, and managing water data using tools such as GIS and HEC-RAS. Students study stakeholder engagement and conflict resolution in water-related projects, and design adaptive water management strategies that account for social, cultural, and environmental impacts, including Indigenous perspectives on water resources. The program takes an integrated, cross-sectoral approach to water management endorsed by the United Nations. Students complete a mandatory capstone project with an industry partner in their final semester, and may take an optional four-month paid or unpaid work placement. The program is delivered in person at SAIT's Main Campus and holds ECO Canada accreditation through the Canadian Environmental Accreditation Commission. The standard length is two years, with up to seven years allowed to complete all requirements. The program accepts international applicants and meets Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility requirements.
