Inhoud
- Description of the concept of the Integrated Project: Semi-arid climate case study. The structure of the project is given, the objectives and the way of assessment. An introduction to the geographical, hydrological and water management characteristics of the catchment is given. The need and requirements for an integrated river basin management plan are described;

- Social, legal and environmental requirements for an integrated river management plan are given. An expert from the water authorities will provide the information concerning the creation of such a plan for the semi-arid river basin;

- An overview is made of the project team (students, lecturers) and database, the capacity, role and task of each participant;

Algemene competenties

The main objective of the “Integrated Project: Semi-arid climate case study” is to expose the students to the execution of an integrated project and to obtain in this process technical expertise in (semi)-arid river basin modelling. The goal is to increase the students understanding of the web of interactions between the different technical and non-technical relations in managing water resources on an integrated river basin scale. An important aspect will be the integration of irrigation systems into the overall basin management.
