Provide tools to explain the economics of water. Enumerate aspects of public taxation that may be relevant in water management. |
| 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. |

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. |
| A4 | CON4 Enumerate the water treatment systems, both for supplying populations or industries, and for the purification and subsequent return to natural environments and reuse of regenerated water. Identify and describe the emerging challenges in water treatment. |
| 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. |
| 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 |
| B3 | HAB3 Select and operate innovative treatment systems adapted to different realities, geographical environments, and quality requirements, including emerging challenges and applications. |
| 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. |
| C1 | COM1 Validate, evaluate, and adapt water legislation for a specific situation. Synthesize the economic variables involved in a problem related to water management. Adapt conceptual frameworks, particularly the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to a specific problem |
| 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. |
| 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 |
| C6 | COM6 Integrate diverse data sources into decision frameworks to facilitate improved management of water resources |

| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Exposición oral dos temas que constituen os contidos da materia diante do alumnado. Esta exposición irá precedida dunha presentación na que se propoñen algunhas preguntas aos estudiantes para motivar a reflexión e o diálogo aberto. A obxectivo final pasa pola transmisión de coñecementos e ao tempo facilitar a súa aprendizaxe, potenciando a particiación dos/as estudantes na construción significativa do coñecemento. |
| Field trip | Realizaranse entre 1e 3 visitas a complexos industriais que serán ilustrativas dos usos industrais da auga. As explicacións didácticas correran a cargo dos encargados do traballo diarios das empresas, con exemplos prácticos. |
| Supervised projects | Se realizarán 2 trabajos relacionados con la docencia impartida. Los pasos a seguir son: selección del tema, documentación, guión general, sesiones periódicas con el profesorado para el seguimiento, preparación de la presentación y exposición en el aula |

Segundo se recolle nas distintas normativas de aplicación para a docencia universitaria deberase incorporar a perspectiva de xénero nesta materia (usarase linguaxe non sexista, utilizarase bibliografía de autores/as de ambos sexos, propiciarase a intervención en clase de alumnos e alumnas...) -Traballarase para identificar e modificar prexuízos e actitudes sexistas e influirase na contorna para modificalos e fomentar valores de respecto e igualdade. -Deberanse detectar situacións de discriminación por razón de xénero e proporanse accións e medidas para corrixilas. |
