Introduction to the Program
Un programa exhaustivo y 100% online, exclusivo de TECH y con una perspectiva internacional respaldada por nuestra afiliación con la International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research”
El contexto actual de la gestión del agua urbana está definido por un estrés hídrico creciente, la escasez de recursos y la presión de la urbanización sobre los ecosistemas. Las ciudades deben afrontar retos relacionados con la planificación, distribución y depuración del agua, garantizando al mismo tiempo eficiencia, sostenibilidad y resiliencia. La crisis climática y la necesidad de servicios hídricos confiables exigen profesionales capaces de tomar decisiones estratégicas que integren criterios técnicos, socioeconómicos y ambientales.
Ante esta realidad, TECH Global University ofrece la Postgraduate diploma en Water Resources and Urban Water Sustainability, un programa 100% online orientado a formar especialistas en la gestión integral del ciclo urbano del agua. La titulación desarrolla competencias avanzadas para aplicar estrategias de economía circular, optimizar la captación, distribución, almacenamiento y depuración de los recursos, así como coordinar eficazmente a los actores involucrados en el sistema hídrico.
El plan de estudios aborda de manera rigurosa las principales dimensiones de la gestión hídrica: sostenibilidad en el ciclo urbano, problemáticas del agua en las ciudades, indicadores Ecosociales, gestión de recursos subterráneos y superficiales, balances hídricos, reutilización, tecnologías de tratamiento, normativa y planificación de ciudades resilientes. Cada módulo combina conocimiento técnico y práctica aplicada, facilitando la implementación de mejoras reales en la gestión del agua urbana.
La metodología combina contenidos interactivos con el sistema Relearning, que asegura una asimilación progresiva y efectiva. Además, integra casos reales, recursos prácticos y Masterclasses de un Director Invitado Internacional, aportando visión global y reforzando la excelencia en la toma de decisiones profesionales.
Asimismo, gracias a que TECH es miembro de la International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), el profesional contará con materiales especializados, guías y planes de clase en el tratamiento y gestión del agua.
