Objective
Though the overall fresh water availability at the macro level has remained the same, many regions, particularly in the developing world, today experience large imbalances between the demand and supply of water supply. The growing population, the preference for water intensive agriculture and rapid urbanization & industrialization are putting enormous pressure on the freshwater resources, resulting into serious threat to ecosystem management, social sustainability and economic growth. The emerging need for efficient water resources planning and management, has been expressed in several world fora in recent times.
This course has been therefore designed to cover the methods, theories, and applications to current administrative, economic, engineering, planning, and social issues as they apply to water resources planning and management.
