PE Civil Engineering Depth Exam Water Resources & Environment

Practice Exams and Solved Problems for NCEES CBT Professional Engineer License Exam, Reference Drawings and Real-World Design Methods

Passing the Civil PE – Water Resources & Environmental Depth Exam requires more than memorizing formulas. It demands the ability to solve real engineering problems quickly, accurately, and under exam-day pressure. This comprehensive study guide gives you everything you need to succeed—practice-heavy chapters, reference drawings, real-world design workflows, and multiple full-length exams with detailed, step-by-step solutions.

Built around the official NCEES exam specifications, this book covers the full WR&E domain: hydrology, open channel flow, hydraulic structures, stormwater, culverts, pump systems, distribution networks, groundwater, wastewater treatment, water treatment, solid waste, environmental compliance, and more. Each chapter begins with targeted theory summaries followed immediately by NCEES-style practice problems to reinforce practical understanding.

You’ll work through hundreds of solved problems, three complete practice exams, and industry-standard engineering methods—all written in a unified coding format to ensure equations and symbols transfer cleanly into Word or your digital notes. Text-based (ASCII) engineering diagrams throughout the book help visualize hydraulic profiles, flow geometry, pipe networks, treatment processes, and groundwater behavior without requiring external references.

Whether you’re returning to these topics after years in practice or approaching them for the first time since university, this book provides a clear, realistic path to mastering the WR&E Depth Exam.
