教育目標

The aim of this course is to provide students with an overview of water innovation in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Topics include: 1) Water-related challenges related to scarcity, quality and the allocation of water (e.g. water availability, water pollution, geopolitics, effects of climate change, aquaculture production facilities). 2) Innovative sustainable eco-technologies for water pollution control 3) Overcoming barriers to innovation 4) Water infrastructure (natural and man-made) for the management of the resource as well as for the provision of water-related services, including the management of floods and droughts 5) Water governance and policy issues.
