Master Degree in Hydrogeology

Hydrogeology is one subject combining Geology and Hydrology together which then focuses on groundwater. Geological Engineering Department in Faculty of Eningeering of Gadjah Mada University has offered master program which held duration around two years. As I have pursued my study in this field since September 2008, I am seeking an available topic for my project research. 

Up to now, I have some idea for my topic research that relates to three purposes: Groundwater table drawdown which can result in Land subsidence, Salt water intrusion, and Groundwater Management for Irrigation (GMI). Among these three interests, I am really intersting in Groundwater Management which corresponds to my background and also covers not only groundwater but also irrigation. This information proved that GMI has aleady taken part into consideration for my master degree. In addition, it was also my intention since I had applied the scholarship. Also, it is true that Cambodian economy mostly relies on agriculture in which the irrigation system has to be implemented in the right position to reach the sustainable development. In order to achieve the goal, human resource is a very important factor combining with finacial support from the government or any institution in Cambodia.

Nevertheless, I still hesitate about my selection in case I feel not comfortable with the management terminoloy for my research. I have thought, it seems that I am working for orgnization and do this kind of management to reach the socio-economy of one society. I think I will be abit away from technique ralate to groundwater. 

Everything should be got done after next week, then I can proceed my project research. I have to collect documents relateing to this topic and also investigate the data to accomplish the project.
