Inhoud
Course/workshop description:
Students are introduced in the structure of the case study, the objectives and the way the
project work will be assessed. The geographical, hydrological and water management
characteristics of the catchment are made available to the students at the beginning of this workshop, and the need and requirements for an integrated river basin management plan are described.
Elements that will be considered during the implementation of the integrated project are:
-The social, legal and environmental requirements for an integrated river management
plan (an expert from the water authorities will provide the information concerning the
creation of such a plan);
-The European Water Framework Directive and its requirements and consequences;
-Overview of the project team (students, lecturers) and database, the capacity, role and
task of each participant;
-Overview of the importance and requirements for analysis and modelling within an
integrated framework for the aspects: surface water, groundwater, river flow, urban water
aspects, agricultural (irrigation and soil) water, aquatic ecology, and water quality;
-The schematic analysis of structure of web of water interactions;
-The layout and start-up of cooperative modelling of the web of water aspects;
-The discussion with catchment water managers and visit to the case study river basin;
-The integration of different modelling exercises;
-The integration of social, legal and systems approach to water management;
-The wrapping up of integration, reporting and joint formulation of conclusions; and
-The presentation of the integrated project and handing-in of a final report.

Algemene competenties

The main objective of the “Integrated Project: Humid climate case study” is to expose the
students to the analysis and development of an integrated project and to obtain in this
process technical expertise in (sub)-humid river basin modelling. The goal is to increase the students understanding of the web of interactions between the different technical and nontechnical relations in managing water resources on an integrated river basin scale. Guidance in the web of interactions will be the European Water Framework Directive (WFD), which plays a central role in learning to set up a fabric of technical and non-technical knowledge to support integrated water management.
