Grade C1 (Assessment 1 – B3 | Assessment 2 – C1)
Rationale
“Water resources are under increasing pressure from a wide range of pressures such as pollution and climate change, as well as the demands of multiple stakeholders ( including, industry, agriculture, forestry, conservation, fisheries and power supply).
Sustainable development and effective management of these resources are best carried out at a catchment or river basin scale, with all users’ demands and effects on the water resource taken into account.
This module will explore the physical, chemical and ecological characteristics of catchments, illustrate the conflicting demands for land and water use and the impact of land and water users. It will seek to identify technical, planning and educational tools for effective integrated management within the context of the requirements of the Water Framework Directive.”
