As climate change intensifies rainfall variability, groundwater depletion, drought–flood cycles, and water-stress risks, AI-driven hydrology and smart water-systems are becoming essential to sustainable water governance. This domain equips learners to apply AI/ML, geospatial analytics, sensor networks (IoT), forecasting systems, and digital twins for water management, groundwater modelling, smart irrigation, early warning systems, and utilities planning. Learners gain hands-on skills across predictive hydrology, flood–drought modelling, water quality analytics, river-basin simulation, and data-driven policy design.
