Postgraduate Course Integrated Water Resources Management, Kenya

International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC, The Netherlands) has announced a postgraduate course named Applications of Earth Observation and GIS in Integrated Water Resources Management.

The course will provide professionals in the field of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) with practical tools and methods which are in-line with the recent advances in research and development and are directly applicable. Correct data, knowledge of hydrology, and proper modelling are the main requirements for the development of realistic integrated water management plans. The availability of modern data acquisition and analysis tools has greatly increased over the last few years while the inherent cost has dramatically reduced. Organizations such as basin authorities dealing with IWRM could benefit from these data acquisition and analyses developments. The postgraduate course will take place from 7th January to 25 April 2008 (16 weeks) in Nairobi, Kenya.

Funding opportunities

Matching fellowships and co-financing possibilities under the ITC School for Disaster Geo-information Management are available for 2008.
