Integrated approach
The challenges facing water managers across the world increasingly require leaders able to cross social, environmental and technological boundaries, to combine disciplinary knowledge and to use theory to inform effective practice.
The Master of Integrated Water Management creates water leaders by drawing on international teaching and research from many fields to provide a transdisciplinary, whole-of-water-cycle approach.
IWC's integrated approach to water management:
- acknowledges the environmental, ecological and human processes that water undergoes from catchment to coast
- clarifies and manages the multiple values of water
- considers the impacts of decisions systemically across environment, politics, law, science, culture, engineering, economics, health and society.
