Explanation:

Water resources engineers should know water very well. Not only physical/chemical properties, but also engineering facilities related to water management are known by these professionals.

If a place needs water, they should plan a dam, providing safe operating conditions, water conveyance system, etc.

If they are asked to design a groundwater well, they should be able to find water, construct well/wells, ensure safe yield, etc.
