Explanation:
land & water engineering work or works, depending. Land & water management work might do the trick, too. Check the CAP communications to get the info "straight from the horse's mouth" - today almost everything that the Commission produces is in English. "aménagements" often translates as "doing" or "redoing something" (the roads, etc.).
HTH!
