| A2 | CON2 Identify the different urban systems directly or indirectly linked to water. Outline their interrelationships and apply an ecosystemic and interdisciplinary approach. Recognize the various water supply sources, the implications of their use, and their impact on natural degradation, as well as their possibilities for recycling and reuse. Identify and explain the key aspects of integrating the circular economy into the urban water system. Explain the typical tools used for conceptualizing water-related urban systems. Review current trends in nature-based solutions for managing urban stormwater. Interpret the territory to advocate for more centralized or decentralized approaches to urban water management in areas with dispersed population and economic activities. |
| A5 | CON5 Describe the fundamentals of water resources assessment and the main tools for hydrological planning, based on the Water Framework Directive, legislation, and global frameworks for water resource allocation, including the environmental component. Demonstrate that ecosystem services linked to water have high added value and that nature-based solutions enable a sustainable approach to water resource management. |
| B2 | HAB2 Construct conceptual models of the urban water system by interacting with different subsystems and applying appropriate singularities derived from urban planning and land management. Develop strategies for implementing nature-based solutions. |
| B3 | HAB3 Select and operate innovative treatment systems adapted to different realities, geographical environments, and quality requirements, including emerging challenges and applications. |
| C2 | COM2 Integrate all urban water systems into a comprehensive planning framework for an entire area. Evaluate their performance and optimize them. Compare different types of solutions, including those suitable for scattered settlements and nature-based solutions |
| C3 | COM3 udge the performance and suitability of various water treatment proposals. Compare different alternatives. Incorporate expert judgment in the planning of water treatment systems, considering emerging challenges and green solutions. |
