Learning objectives

The learning objectives for this course are: 

  • To understand a river as a system with up- and downstream relations between human interventions and water levels;
  • To be able  to investigate a river (watershed) and a problem area (project level) by considering large spatial scales (from source to sea) considering the historical developments and the long time-horizons for future scoping;
  • To understand the importance of stakeholder engagement in river basin management processes and how to implement this;
  • To discover the potential role of landscape design to accommodate various societal functions, including water safety, over short- and long-term time-horizons;
  • To understand the intricacies of bringing together water safety, governance and spatial quality aspects into one integrated program with a long term planning perspective.

After the course you will be able to analyse the key challenges and set of  interventions of a room for river project from a multi actor and multi-problem perspective.
