A bi-cultural Master program
Water resources, indispensable basis for development, food, and health, become ever scarcer and more polluted.
The concept of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) offers solutions to the water crisis in linking water to other vital resources and viewing the whole water cycle together with human interventions as the basis for sustainable water management. As it is a relatively new concept there is a high demand for experts adequately trained in the concept of IWRM. Next to the technical and managerial knowledge related to water resources these experts should also have knowledge of the practices of project funding and international cooperation.
For bilateral projects between Germany and Arab
countries there is a need for experts being familiar with the culture,
language and politics of both sides and are skilled in intercultural
communication.
The MSc »IWRM« has the objective to form such experts and to promote
the concept of IWRM in the context of German-Arab cooperation.
