We train you to apply management fundamentals to solve current problems and to anticipate, mitigate and prevent future problems in the area of water resources management. Masters students have the opportunity to undertake a major research project or a minor research project combined with an industry placement. Topics cover areas such as fundamentals of groundwater, ecohydrology, public health aspects of water quality, geographical information systems, and project management.
