The course is structured around case studies centered on the territory of Gironde and New Aquitaine. It develops in turn, times of appropriation of water included in the planning of the territory on drinking water, sanitation, floods and aquatic environments, including wetlands. It also enables the positioning of the network of water and urban planning actors to be addressed, while enabling the discovery of professions related to these two themes.
