The objective of this EU is to present the current and future impacts on all sectors associated with the field of water.
What changes are occurring in terms of extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, and in the regions affected by these extremes? How does this impact groundwater and surface water resources, agricultural land, and irrigation methods?
What developments are occurring with regard to rising sea levels and coastal areas? How does this impact current and future population movements, and what solutions can be proposed for coastal management?
Through various lectures given by specialists in different fields, covering all aspects of the Master's program in Water, this course unit will present the latest advances in this subject.
Through tutorials and practical sessions, students will work in groups on a specific topic (using an example) combining climate change with a water-related field, in order to present a summary of this subject. This work will be presented in the form of a mini-seminar and will be assessed as part of this course unit.
