Models for sustainable water management

This course is designed for students who want to learn more about how decisions are made for sustainable environmental management. This interdisciplinary course has a focus on water quality but will be attractive to students from a range of backgrounds. Participants will gain familiarity with water policies in Agenda 2030 as well as Swedish and European legislation and will learn how models are used to support policy development, implementation and evaluation.



The course includes a mixture of theory, practical exercises and “serious gaming”. Course presenters include modellers, assessment specialists and policy developers. Throughout the course, there is a focus on how using models to support decisions related to water management affects environmental, economic and social aspects of sustainability. Practical exercises will introduce students to a range of water quality models that are used today to support policy assessments. Participants will also participate in a unique, “real world” policy negotiation exercise.



By the end of the course, students will be better equipped to understand environmental policy and critically interpret model results to address current and emerging sustainability challenges.
