Integrated river basin management is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century.
The term integration refers to various aspects essential to achieve a sustainable development of river basins, and includes water demand and supply, trans-boundary aspects, upstreamdownstream linkages, water and environment, development (including poverty alleviation) and environment, as well as organisational and institutional aspects at different scales. What are the elements and concepts of IRBM? How to analyse, plan and organize river basin development? And how to apply IRBM?
The course is designed for professionals that hold positions in which they are involved in, or affected by river basin management and who do like to combine their daily work activities with learning. Professionals will come from river basin organisations, regional or national governments involved in planning, water resources, forestry, agricultural, economic aspects of IRBM, nongovernmental organisations, companies or universities.
