| A3 | CON3 Explain the foundations of chemistry, biology, and morphology of continental aquatic ecosystems. Provide the common methodology of the EU for assessing the status of water bodies and its adaptation to different territorial contexts. Identify models for assessing pressures and impacts on water bodies, understanding their opportunities and limitations. Suggest solutions for the maintenance and improvement of the status of water bodies across their different quality elements. Identify bioindicators. |
| B1 | HAB1 Use and compare water legislation and conceptual frameworks related to sustainable development. Operate with tools that allow estimating economic variables (macro and micro) related to water, and employ the tools to apply appropriate taxation and cost policies to water |
| B4 | HAB4 Analyze the European Union's Water Framework Directive and Floods Directive, their technical implications, and their implementation through hydrological planning. Utilize computer tools for problem-solving related to water management within the framework of both directives. Develop measurements and analysis of hydrologically relevant data and data related to the state of water bodies. Evaluate the effect of urban use on the watershed and analyze the consequences of discharging water (treated or untreated) into receiving water bodies. Additionally, develop strategies to protect areas of surface water and groundwater generation within watersheds, based on the principle of recognizing and enhancing ecosystem services. |
| C4 | COM4 Integrate the various sources that generate the water supply and the uses that create the demand into systems or balances that allow for proper management. Plan the water resource at both macro and micro scales, allocating water to different uses while integrating environmental and social demands |
