Purpose and Content

The aim of the course The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of water systems, including surface water, groundwater, and their interconnections. This involves studying the hydrological cycle, water quality, and the impact of human activities on water resources. The course focuses on introducing students to sustainable water management practices. This includes examining technologies and strategies for efficient water use, conservation, and pollution prevention. Students will learn to analyze local and global water policies and regulations. Understanding the legal and policy frameworks related to water management is crucial for developing sustainable solutions and ensuring compliance with environmental standards. The course aims to educate students about the concept of integrated water resource management (IWRM). This involves considering the social, economic, and environmental aspects of water management to achieve sustainable and equitable use of water resources. Exploring the impacts of climate change on water availability and quality is a key objective. Students will learn how climate change influences water scarcity, extreme weather events, and the overall vulnerability of water systems.
