Land and water managers are responsible for the sustainable use of these precious resources and their preservation for future generations.
They use an integrated approach in which processes and interactions in natural and human-made land and water systems are identified, and appropriate management plans are formulated and implemented. This course will provide you with advanced knowledge of how physical, chemical, biological and management factors interact and case studies are used to demonstrate the complex interactions occurring in land and water systems.
