Adaptive Water Management specialisation
Increasing human-induced pressures on water cycles together with growing demands on water resources demands careful management of water systems. Students in this specialisation acquire the knowledge, skills and capacity to analyse future-oriented issues in water management and to propose and critically assess management strategies, policies and innovations for climate adaptive water management.
