CON1 Describe the principles, concepts, and dimensions that encompass integrated water resources management and its role as a key tool for achieving water security and advancing the associated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Identify problems related to water development, use, and access. Identify and compare water legislation at the European, national, regional, and local levels, as well as interpret conceptual frameworks on sustainable development and their application to the water sector, with a specific focus on the SDGs. Provide tools to explain the economics of water. Enumerate aspects of public taxation that may be relevant in water management. |

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. |

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. |
