Introduction to Water and Climate Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

Programme Structure

What you'll learn:

• The different processes of the global water cycle.
• The challenges in better understanding and adapting to the impact of climate change on water for the coming 50 years.
• The flows of water and sand in different riverine, coastal and ocean systems.
• How to identify mechanisms of climate change and explain the interplay of climate change, sea level, clouds, rainfall and future weather.
• Why, when and which engineering interventions are needed in rivers, coasts and urban environments.
• Why water for food and water for cities are the main challenges in water management and what the possibilities and limitations of reservoirs and groundwater are to improve water availability.
