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.
