Enable students to learn about the diversity of water and its integration into all land-use planning activities.

Knowledge of the water sector being acquired by students from the social sciences.

A 3-hour assessment, comprising a reflective part based on a video and a part based on a course presentation with reasoned answers, all of which will be the subject of an in-depth, personalized answer sheet.

The course is structured around case studies focusing on the Gironde and Nouvelle-Aquitaine regions. It develops, in turn, the appropriation of water as part of regional planning for drinking water, sanitation, flooding and aquatic environments, including wetlands. It also addresses the positioning of the network of players involved in water and urban planning, while providing an opportunity to discover professions related to these two themes. It is the subject of numerous exchanges and interactions between the teacher and the students, with a view to awakening their critical sense with regard to practical, real-life professional cases.
