We have 40 water resources PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
PhD in Civil Engineering (Water Resources): Development of a shallow water and floating debris modelling system to improve understanding of transport dynamics of debris and its impact on key hydraulic infrastructure.
Award Summary. 100% fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £18,622 (2023/24 UKRI rate). Overview. Read more
Illegal water use: assessing the extent, drivers, and solutions in irrigated agriculture
Agriculture is the largest sectoral user of freshwater globally (UN, 2018). Yet, most countries do not monitor the amount of water used by farmers (Foster et al., 2020). Read more
An integrated hydro-epidemiological approach to prevent and mitigate water-related zoonotic diseases leveraging nature-based solutions. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2025/26
Summary. Waterborne zoonotic diseases, such as Cryptosporidium, E.coli, and Leptospira are a serious threat to drinking water safety, especially in rural, farm-dominated lands. Read more
Developing a Wireless Sensor for Measuring Water Storage in Glacier Moulins
PROJECT OVERVIEW. An exciting opportunity to develop a new instrument to study water storage in glaciers. You should have either a background in engineering or environmental science, but with a keen enthusiasm to design, build and field-test an instrument that will need to work in a harsh environment. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Mechanics of multifactorial stress responses in plants – How do abiotic stress signals integrate with pathogen immunity?
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Plants have the innate ability to respond to pathogens together with multiple abiotic stress challenges, but such responses often come at a cost to plant productivity and water use. Read more
Impact of mixed vegetation of different types on river flows
Vegetation is vital for protecting riverbanks, restoring ecosystems and safeguarding the water environment. Due to the complexity of flow-vegetation interaction, previous studies mainly focused on the influence of single-type vegetation on flow, which is far unrealistic. Read more
Impact of Sediment Transport and Vegetation to the Reservoir Hydrodynamics within Fluvial Environment
Reservoirs and dams are popular control mechanisms for different water resources around the world. However, lately, there have been increasing incidences of reservoir failure linked to sediment transport and vegetation within its environment, that have caused massive financial and social impacts. Read more
Advancing Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) Technology for Produced Water Treatment in Qatar
GOAL. This PhD project will focus on evaluating and advancing the application of Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) technology for treating produced water. Read more
Design and development of water desalination plants for rural communities, driven by a hybrid solar-bioenergy system
Freshwater supplies are becoming increasingly stressed as demand increases. Desalination technologies are able to produce drinking water from abundant resources such as seawater. Read more
Design and development of water desalination plants for rural communities, driven by a hybrid solar-biogas energy system
Freshwater supplies are becoming increasingly stressed as demand increases. Desalination technologies are able to produce drinking water from abundant resources such as seawater. Read more
Hydrogen production from electrolysis of waste biomass
Established water electrolysis technologies rely on valuable high-purity water which adds significant demand pressure to worldwide resources needed for drinking water, irrigation and sanitation. Read more
Natural Polymer Textiles & Fibres for Sustainable Fashion Sector PhD
This project aims to manufacture sustainable textiles from renewable/natural polymers such as cellulose, chitin, alginate, chitosan which derived from most abundant natural resources like agricultural biomass and sea food waste (crab shell, shrimp shells etc.). Read more
Spatiotemporal Flood Trends and Resilient Solutions for Water Extremes: A Case Study of South-East Queensland, Australia
The primary goal of this study is to develop a globally applicable framework or set of guidelines that can assist decision-makers in distinguishing the individual and combined influences of climate change and LULC change on the frequency and intensity of floods. Read more
Investigation of non-thermal plasma for CO2 conversion in Space In-situ Resource Utilisation
Supervisory Team: Min Kwan Kim (80%) / Alexander Wittig (20%). PhD Supervisor: Min Kwan Kim. Project description. Water, oxygen, and fuel are essential resources for future human missions to Mars, crucial for sustaining astronaut life and ensuring a safe return journey to Earth. Read more
