We often approach water resources and their management through knowledge and principles established in developed countries of the temperate zone. However, 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 to question the validity of certain approaches that are too far removed from the reality of the field.

Researchers working mainly in southern countries use their concrete experiences to reflect on the specificity of hydrological and geochemical processes in very dry or very wet tropical regions, the consequences of anthropization and the challenges of sustainable management of water resources.

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

Through various conferences given by specialists in different fields, and affecting all the courses of the Master Water, this EU will present the latest advances on this subject.

Through the sessions of TD and TP, the students will be brought to work in group on a topic in particular (this through an example) associating Climate Change with a domain of Water, to present in a synthetic way this subject. This work will be presented in the form of a mini-seminar, and will be the subject of the evaluation of this UE.
