| 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. |
| 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 |
| 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. |
| 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 |
