#Twitter says I have been here for 11 years since 2010. (Just wondering if I can add that to my CV though?)🙂

In 11 years, I have tweeted on a very diverse set of subject areas: Water quality & policy (sometimes referred to as Water Law)- I used to want to work in drafting and implementing water laws/ polices to ensure fair, equitable and sustainable use but Nigeria sha. lol!

Quick recap though (I dont know if these terms have changed and it has been a while) but here are the "sub-divisions" of Water r/s mgt & Agrometeorology. It is still pretty wild that this is still and undergrad course, lol!

From the name, there are two clear divisions- Water r/s mgt and Agrometeorology. Agrometeorology is the study of how weather and climate affects agriculture and food security+vely or -vely. I didn't major here so my knowledge is very little.

We were required to pick one area of specialization in our 4th yr. (Are there other undergrad course where you are reqd to specialize?) Also, the ladies in my classes deemed the Agro. bit easier than the Water r/s mgt bit (also called Hydrology) so most of them headed there.

Hydrology (Also known as water r/s mgt or water engineering- which I prefer to call it) was where I specialized and the crux of this thread. There were sub-divisions here but we were expected to do all: Water physics- here you learned about dams, flow pipes...

Storm drains, all kinds of water structures and energy and basically a lot more about civil engineering in relation to water.

Water chemistry- the chemical composition of water, reactions, uses and so on. There is a lot of interesting things that happen to water as it changes.

Water Biology- Here, you work in tandem with oceanographers and marine biologists to study water organisms, ecosystems above, under the water and so on. This study is critical to the engineers in water physics so they can plan better.

Water Safety: You had to learn how weather and climate change affected water quality, concepts like gender mainstreaming (waay before gender equality became a mainstream topic, lol) and my fave sub-division: water law- drafting policies on how water was used, stored and managed.
