Overview
’Technology for Integrated Water Management’ focuses on understanding the water system and on applying technology to enhance integrated water management and –policy. The programme aims to improve the understanding of concepts and systems and enhances knowledge regarding tools and technologies. This will enable innovative planning and action from a new perspective and approach.
This programme exists of 3 parts:
• The first part is focusing on the current state of knowledge regarding global water problems, integrated water management and integrated risk assessment.
• The second part focuses on technologies for industrial and ecological water usage.
• The third part offers an integration of all gained knowledge and confronts the student with several modelling aspects in a river basin management framework. The integrated approach demonstrates the interdependencies between the different subsystems which allows the student to think in river basin scale including all its aspects.
