Training in Hydrology: Adapting territories to climate change

Water management is a crucial issue in ensuring the availability of this vital resource for all ecosystems and human societies.

This training course in Hydrology was designed to alternate between theory and practice, in the field and in the laboratory, by Marine Rousseau, lecturer in Water and Soil Sciences at the Faculty of Sciences ofthe University of Montpellier.

Objectives

This training program guarantees the acquisition of skills in hydrology, hydraulics, and hydrometry in the context of climate change.

The objective of the training is clear:

Provide water stakeholders and managers (government departments, local authorities, elected officials, associations, consulting firm employees, and any employee interested in water management issues in the context of climate change) with the necessary fundamentals in hydrology, hydraulics, and hydrometry to enable them to engage in discussions with all their counterparts, including experts in the field.

Organization and training session

Designed toalternate between theory and practicewith case studies in the field and in the laboratory, this hydrology training course is divided into two micro-certifications:

1. General Hydrology: Level 1
