Biology: Water Management

<p>BIOS17</p><p>This course aims to integrate theoretical knowledge within aquatic ecology and hydrology to be used within practical water management. Thus, it is an applied course, and through a combination of lectures, practical training, seminars, group projects, field trips and study visits you will obtain a thorough knowledge of the areas that you are supposed to master when working within water management. You will also get a good insight into the work of authorities and consult companies engaged in water management in Sweden. The teaching will be put in the perspective of Swedish and international water management policies and the Swedish Environmental Quality Objectives related to aquatic systems. How should these objectives be followed up? Which measures needs to be taken to fulfil these objectives? Do conflicts among the objectives exist?</p>
