Programme Description
Safe water and sanitation are fundamental to human development. When people are deprived of these, they face diminished opportunities to realise their potential as human beings. The Millenium Development Goals provide benchmark for measuring progress towards the human right to water. That is why halving the proportion of the world population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation is a key target in its own right. But achieving that target is critical to the attainment of other goals.
The general programme objective is to educate professionals and scientist who contribute effectively to the development and management of water resources on both local and global scale.
Career opportunities exist for a wide range of organizations including water related companies, research organizations, academic institutions, energy agencies, local, state and federal governments, and local authorities.
