I am thrilled to announce that i have finished Water Resources Management and Policy course by Université de Genève on Coursera platform ____ Water management today is faced with new challenges such as climate change or the effects of human activity. Public and private stakeholders who are active in this field must develop new ways to better manage the water cycle "as a whole". The objective of this MOOC is to develop an understanding of the problems related to water management. Firstly, this course will define a resource and, more specifically, the resource of water. It will look at how water is used and the activities associated with it as well as any potential conflicts. The course will look at water management in detail through the analysis of the different types of rights and obligations associated with, for example, the development of a multi-sectorial regulation system or a watershed management approach. By the end of this course, the aim is to enable you to: 1) Identify the main issues and strategies linked to water resource management 2) Acquire the key reading material needed to understand the many variables (environmental, institutional and political) which affect water and which, in terms of management, may require adjustment. This course was developed by the Geneva Water Hub. Alongside researchers from the University of Geneva from a range of faculties, researchers from other universities and research centres will be involved in this course. Practitioners who deal daily with the political dimension of water management will also input into the course. This MOOC is designed for all those interested in the water sector. Prior training is not necessary to follow our program. The findings presented in this course can be easily reapplied to different contexts and to different scales of analysis. This MOOC is supported by the Geneva Water Hub and the University of Geneva along with the MOOC in « Ecosystem Services: a Method for Sustainable Development » (https://lnkd.in/dP7c34an) and the one in "International Water Law" (https://lnkd.in/dN9mjtZY). This course is funded by the Global Programme Water Initiatives of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). ________ This course is also available in French with subtitles : https://lnkd.in/dtk3xEiP ______ #watermanagement #internationalwaterlaw #waterlaw #riversmanagemet #Agriculturewatermanagement

Bill Alert! US House Bill HR 4297 - Bolts Ditch Act Policy: Public Lands and Natural Resources Status: Bill Introduced Full Details: https://lnkd.in/eYQqzbHt Bill 118 hr 4297, also known as the Bolts Ditch Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to address issues related to water management and conservation in the Bolts Ditch area. The Bolts Ditch Act aims to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study on the feasibility of implementing a water management plan for the Bolts Ditch area. This study would assess the current water usage, availability, and potential impacts on the surrounding environment. Additionally, the bill seeks to provide funding for the implementation of any recommended water management measures that may result from the study. This could include infrastructure improvements, conservation efforts, or other initiatives aimed at ensuring sustainable water usage in the Bolts Ditch area. Overall, the Bolts Ditch Act is focused on promoting responsible water management practices in order to protect the environment and ensure the long-term availability of water resources in the Bolts Ditch area. It is currently under review by Congress and may be subject to amendments or changes before being passed into law.

Both Australia and Lao PDR share the challenge of high variability in available water despite the seasonality of water availability being very different in the two countries. Modelling provides one mechanism for understanding existing water availability and use and how this may change in the future.   Experts from Western Sydney University, the Asian Institute of Technology, the National University of Laos, and eWater Solutions, are providing water modelling, data analysis, and equitable water management training funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the Australian Water Partnership.   Read the full story and learn more > https://lnkd.in/gdpBnqZU   Emily Barbour Laura Beckwith Lucy Chilver Mukta Sapkota, PhD Sarah Ransom Jolie Baasch Michael Wilson Stephen Cory, MBA, GAICD, CPA, BCom Trudy Green Dr Melina Vidoni   #watermanagement #watermodelling #genderequality #disability #socialinclusion #sdg6 #dataanalysis #bestpractice #teamaustralia #waterscarcity #watersustainability #climateresilience 

On behalf of the Water Allocation and Rights team at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, University of Amsterdam and Wageningen University & Research, I am excited to announce the Call for papers “Water Allocation and Rights—Evolving Policies and Practices under Shifting Socio-Hydrological Regimes.” We invite researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to contribute to this special issue This issue will explore country-specific and comparative multi-country analyses, delving into policies, practices, and institutional arrangements shaping water allocation at local, regional, and national levels. We seek innovative research that addresses tensions between increasing water demand, land use changes, and uncertain hydroclimatic patterns impacting water security globally. 🔍 Key Topics Include: Case studies on policy responses to socio-hydrological pressures Comparative studies on water allocation institutions and governance Analyses of formal vs. informal water rights practices Institutional reforms for adaptive, just, and sustainable water management Water use rights, permits, pricing, subsidies, and market mechanisms Collaborative platforms and innovative technologies for water allocation 🗓 Key Deadlines: Abstract submission: November 1, 2024 Notification of accepted abstracts: November 15, 2024 Full manuscript submission: February 15, 2025 Expected publication: October 1, 2025 Submit your work and help shape the future of water policy. 🌊 Further information: https://lnkd.in/dBPkQcd4 #WaterPolicy #WaterRights #WaterGovernance #Sustainability #HydroclimaticAdaptation #WaterAllocation #Research #CallForPapers 4o
