Description

Water is critical to all forms of life, society, and the environment, and being able to manage water in a sustainable manner is essential. This requires a thorough understanding of the different demands for water and the available supply. This course aims to provide this understanding by looking at the regulatory framework (including policy and social/cultural/economic/ecological aspects such as Te mana o te Wai anf the Resouce Management Act), measuring available water, modelling demand and supply over time and optimising water allocation and costs when facing conflicting interests.
