This course is based on numerous practical examples presented by environmental specialists and experts working in design offices, companies, EPICs and research institutes in the water and environment sector. The course includes a field day dedicated to characterizing the physical properties of watercourses and aquifers, as well as various hydrometric measurement techniques. Specific sessions will also be offered on the basics of using hydrological and hydrogeological data acquired in situ.

The content of the module is divided into six sequences:

1) Introduction to EU: scientific and operational challenges of biogeochemical and water quality issues in agricultural watersheds;

2) Physico-chemical and hydrological processes determining the availability and mobility of plant protection products in a watershed;

3) TD: modelling tutorials on the transfer of plant protection products;

4) Biogeochemical cycle of phosphorus in agro-systems ;

5) Nitrogen cycle and balance in agricultural watersheds ;

6) TD: Assessment of nitrogen balance in a watershed, diagnosis of surface water contamination

This course covers project planning and task time estimation, the SWOT matrix/sabotage exercise, risk management, meeting organization and facilitation, and oral project presentation. Other elements of project management can be addressed on a case-by-case basis, such as financial management, the role of the project manager, relations with partners, and the use of tools such as the to-do list, Kanban, shared calendar, etc.

Following on from the Project Management UE of Master 1, the Project Management UE of Master 2 is designed to verify the assimilation of skills acquired in the previous year, and to go further by focusing on a longer project (a few weeks to a few months), whether individual or in a group, a study project or a personal project.

Water resources and their management are often approached through the knowledge and principles established in the developed countries of the temperate zone. Yet the countries of the South, starting with the Mediterranean and Africa, offer us an extreme diversity of social and environmental situations that force us to significantly modify our points of view and question the validity of certain approaches that are too far removed from the reality on the ground.

Researchers working mainly in developing countries draw on their practical experience to reflect on the specific nature of hydrological and geochemical processes in very dry or very wet tropical regions, the consequences of anthropization and the challenges of sustainable water resource management.

A significant amount of time is devoted to critical analysis of scientific articles dealing with water resources and their management in the South.

The aim of this cross-disciplinary course is to give students from several courses the opportunity to organize an event-based project on a topical water-related theme, in line with their commitments, their career plans, societal issues and the challenges of global transitions and changes....

The project is led by the students, from definition to implementation at the event, with occasional support from the teaching teams at key stages.

The aim of this joint course with AgroParisTech's specialized post-master's degree in "Water Management" is to provide students with a development profile with an insight into the issues and organization of development projects on the theme of water (drinking water, sanitation, agricultural water).

This course alternates between testimonials, feedback from experts and development professionals on water issues, and testimonials from students (Mastère Spécialisé Gestion de l'Eau) or students with international experience in water or agriculture.

This course is open as an option to students of the Master's degree in Water Sciences, subject to a numerus clausus of students.

The aim of this course is to present the current and future impacts on all sectors associated with the water sector.

What are the trends in climate extremes such as droughts and floods, and in the regions affected by these extremes? What impact will this have on underground and surface water resources, agricultural land and irrigation methods?

How are sea levels and coastlines changing? How does this impact current and future population movements, and what solutions can be proposed for coastal management?

Through a series of lectures given by specialists from different fields, and covering all the Water Master's courses, this course will present the latest advances in this field.

Through TD and TP sessions, students will be asked to work in groups on a particular theme (using an example) associating climate change with a water-related field, in order to present a summary of the subject. This work will be presented in the form of a mini-seminar, and will be assessed as part of this course.
