课程概述

Water management today is faced with new challenges such as climate change or the effects of human activity. Public and private stakeholders who are active in this field must develop new ways to better manage the water cycle "as a whole". The objective of this MOOC is to develop an understanding of the problems related to water management. Firstly, this course will define a resource and, more specifically, the resource of water. It will look at how water is used and the activities associated with it as well as any potential conflicts. The course will look at water management in detail through the analysis of the different types of rights and obligations associated with, for example, the development of a multi-sectorial regulation system or a watershed management approach. By the end of this course, our aim is to enable you to: 1) Identify the main issues and strategies linked to water resource management 2) Acquire the key reading material needed to understand the many variables (environmental, institutional and political) which affect water and which, in terms of management, may require adjustment. This course was developed by the Geneva Water Hub. Alongside researchers from the University of Geneva from a range of faculties, researchers from other universities and research centres will be involved in this course. Practitioners who deal daily with the political dimension of water management will also input into the course. This MOOC is designed for all those interested in the water sector. Prior training is not necessary to follow our program. The findings presented in this course can be easily reapplied to different contexts and to different scales of analysis. This MOOC is supported by the Geneva Water Hub and the University of Geneva along with the MOOC in « Ecosystem Services: a Method for Sustainable Development » (hua.dididi.sbs/learn/ecosystem-services) and the one in "International Water Law" (hua.dididi.sbs/learn/droit-eau). This course is funded by the Global Programme Water Initiatives of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). This course is also available in French : hua.dididi.sbs/learn/gestion-eau...

Muchas felicidades por este curso. Por la excelencia de sus profesores, por la sencillez de sus explicaciones y por la alta calidad de sus contenidos. He aprendido muchísimo. Es un conocimiento que no se encuentra en las pocas bibliotecas de mi país. A pesar de las diferencias de idioma he aprendido muchísimo y he tomado nota de las clases para volver a repasarlas. Para mí es solo el inicio para continuar aprendiendo. Muchas gracias. Samuel Lizama.

Water Management helps in devloping efficient irrigation practices for the betterment og agriculture in the country.Proper utilization of water in our homes too can save this precious resource. Water management teaches us to use a limited amount of water whenever required.
