Water scarcity winter school 2011, Salzburg, Austria
7 February 2011 - 7 February 2011
Austria
An educational event entitled 'Water scarcity winter school 2011' will be held from 7 to 18 February 2011 in Salzburg, Austria.
The educational course will focus on the climatological, hydrological and socio-economic processes and functions related to water scarcity inherent in landscapes across Europe. Participants will gain an overview of planning procedures (data acquisition, data preparation, data processing, and result interpretation) and skills in applying a theoretical framework.
Students will also learn how to implement an early warning system against water shortage based on existing operational methodologies (e.g. meteo-risk) and to characterise main anthropogenic and natural defined surface water and groundwater systems.
The course structure centres on lectures, group work and practicals, varying from 'simple' discipline-oriented approaches to more sophisticated multidisciplinary, holistic methods aiming to an integrated assessment of water management and planning.For further information, please click: here(opens in new window)
