Hydrology Training: Adapting Regions to Climate Change

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

This hydrology course was designed to alternate between theory and practice, in the field and in the laboratory, by . Marine Rousseau, a professor of Water and Soil Sciences at the Faculty of Sciences atthe University of Montpellier.

Objectives

This course ensures that participants acquire skills in hydrology, hydraulics, and hydrometry in the context of climate change.

The goal of the training is clear:

To provide water stakeholders and managers (government agencies, local authorities, interested elected officials, associations, employees of engineering firms, and any employee interested in water management issues in the context of climate change) with the necessary foundational knowledge in hydrology, hydraulics, and hydrometry , enabling them to engage in discussions with all their counterparts, including experts in the field.

Organization and training session

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

1. General Hydrology: Level 1
2. Advanced Hydrology: Level 2

You can choose to take one of these two micro-certifications, or both as part of a short course.

One training sessionis scheduled for this year: 

• June 15–19, 2026, as follows: 
  • General Hydrology (Level 1): June 15 and 16
  • Advanced Hydrology (Level 2): June 17–19
