Description

What happens when the water runs out? The current demands for water in Australia have created an urgent need for more effective water management strategies. This subject examines topics relating to three major components of water resource management; water quality, water quantity and water resource allocation. The course uses specific case studies from river and coastal areas to examine key issues of water management focusing primarily on the physical processes but also addressing the social and economic barriers to effective water management in Australia.
