Water Resources Management in Urban Areas

This course addresses the critical challenges of managing water resources—supply, distribution, stormwater, and wastewater—within complex urban environments. It explores integrated approaches that move beyond traditional engineering solutions to embrace conservation, reuse, and ecological principles. Participants will learn about managing water scarcity, implementing Low Impact Development (LID), and planning for climate-related flooding and drought. The curriculum emphasizes the planning, policy, and technology required to achieve sustainable, resilient, and equitable urban water systems.
