Water Resources in a Changing Climate

Semester One

Module Leader: Dr Richard Gosling

This module is delivered by a tutor with over 18 years combined experience in water resources regulation, flood management and climate change impact assessment.  The course explores the way our water use has been managed up to now and looks at how, under a changing climate, adaptation strategies are being developed to cope with an increasingly variable resource.

The course is aimed at students currently or hoping to be employed in water-related industries such as public water supply, hydropower, beverages (including brewing and distilleries) and agriculture.  It is particularly suitable for environmental managers, water resource practitioners, hydrologists and environmental scientists.  It also provides relevant CPD for government agency staff such as the environment and conservation agencies where their remit includes the water environment.

It can help those with an interest in water management understand the background against which the regulation of the water environment has been set and explores the way all stakeholders have a role to play in securing the benefits we get from a healthy water environment both now and in the future as we adapt to climate change.
