- The Department of Hydraulics and Sanitation - DHS, is part of the Technology Sector of the Federal University of Parana - UFPR. Together with the Departments of Civil and Transport Construction, constitutes one of the pillars underpinning the Civil Engineering Course of this University. Overall DHS adds teachers with degrees in engineering and working in the area of water resources, whether in the hydraulic point of view, of Hydrology, Sanitation and Environment.
DHS currently has 20 permanent professors, of which 40% work with part-time, with a view also to exercise professional activities outside the UFPR, and the remaining 60% remain exclusively dedicated link (DE) to the University. With regard to training the staff of professors, the DHS account today with: i) twelve (12) PhD professors, one post-doctoral training in the Netherlands; ii) five (5) master teachers, one of whom in the final doctoral phase; iii) one (1) specialist teacher; and iv) two (2) senior faculty.
In addition to the teaching activities in undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering, DHS has offered courses for undergraduate courses in Electrical Engineering, Cartographic Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Architecture.
Extrapolating to undergraduate courses DHS has an extensive acting in the course of post-graduation in Engineering Water Resources and Environment - PPGERHA, course at the master's level, was born on the initiative of DHS own and now, still under the professor coordinating Department definitely be consolidated with the implementation of the graduate school, in 2009. In accordance with its name, the course of postgraduate offers two areas of concentration, namely: Water Resources Engineering and Environmental Engineering. The specialization in Water Resources Engineering encompasses the traditional areas of Hydraulics and Hydrology, relying on four distinct research areas, namely: Hydraulic Experimental; Computational Hydraulics; Stochastic Hydrology and Energy Studies; Deterministic and Hydrology. The Environmental Engineering area of concentration is engaged in the academic training of professionals to work in the complex interactions of ecosystems, from a systems-oriented approach to propose solutions based on the concept of environmental sustainability. In this regard rests on two lines of research, namely: Management, Monitoring and Modeling of Environmental Systems; and Technologies for Environmental Systems.
Through post-graduate program DHS has developed research projects in its area of operation, financed by funding institutions, contributing to the training and the organization and social development.
