Courses

Bringing together key strengths in water politics, climate change, agricultural water management and water allocation, this course will provide participants with an exceptional chance to acquire an understanding of this key global issue. 

The Water Security Research Centre (UEA) currently offers two professional training courses: Water Security for Policy Makers and Practitioners and Water Stewardship. 

The course introduces and explores different interpretations of water security in an international and developing economy context.  Participants will acquire a wide variety of tools and analytical frameworks from a variety of disciplines and an extended understanding of this key national and global issue. They will leave the course with an ability to critically assess and address current water security issues and policies and to gain an appreciation of the relations between water security and development, health, climate, food, and national security. Participants will also substantially develop their networks and resource bases.

Topics likely to be covered include

Water security fundamentals –  Water resources security and water scarcity –  Climate change security and water security –  Water sharing through the River Basin Game –  Food security, agriculture and water security –  Water security and health –  Transboundary water security and hydropolitics –  Global trade, global political economy  and water –  Water markets and water security.

The Water Security Research Centre (WSRC) brings together researchers from across the University of East Anglia to address the theoretical, practical and policy challenges of managing and governing water for different human, economic and environmental needs from the local to the global scales.

The Anglian Centre for Water Studies is a partnership between Anglian Water and the University of East Anglia. The Centre seeks to ensure the independent research done by UEA informs business outcomes, policy and research.
