A1 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.
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.
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
C5 COM5 Evaluate the impact of floods and droughts and propose strategies to mitigate them in accordance with legislation, applying new technologies. Propose sustainable and socially acceptable solutions.
