Master the management of water resources and learn about the different sources of urban water supply to contribute to environmental sustainability"

On the one hand, the postgraduate diploma in Water Resources and Urban Water Sustainability identifies the real problems in a city and then determines the best policies in terms of sustainability in its management. It provides the appropriate indicators for optimal monitoring of sustainability management, in line with the objectives set by the 2030 Agenda. From the user's point of view, the good practices that they have to adopt to reduce the average water consumption in cities are described. In this way, the student will be able, from a management point of view, to establish, implement and enforce the necessary water sustainability policies to minimize the water footprint in the service.

On the other hand, the program deepens in the characterization of traditional resources, which are: surface water and groundwater, determining the most relevant aspects of each. It also establishes the alternative resources to be taken into account in the system in order to maintain its environmental sustainability in the long term. Thus, the engineer will be able to establish the necessary strategies to maintain an adequate balance between demand and sustainability of water catchment. In addition, you will understand the importance of the current means of connectivity to optimize the management of water resources.

At the same time, this postgraduate diploma provides students with the different technologies that make it possible to achieve the required water quality standards. It also develops the key aspects that, during the design and construction process, must be taken into account for the future operator of the facility to exploit it under the highest standards of effectiveness. In this sense, operation and maintenance have a relevant importance in the viability of reuse, since, together with the required water quality, costs are one of the handicaps for a greater implementation of reused water consumption. The example of Spain in terms of the level of adoption of reclaimed water is very representative of the heterogeneity of the acceptance of this type of water according to the needs of each region, and will therefore be used to understand when it becomes an obligation to orient water policies towards a complete model of reclaimed water use.

Finally, for a better understanding of when and how a system requires an infrastructure for production, distribution and consumption of reclaimed water, a topic on specific reuse projects is included where the author of the project will share with the student his experiences and lessons learned on such projects, thus providing the experience gained from the working environment of this sector in the student's specialization.
