Applications to the IARU Global Summer Program re-open at UCT

If you have missed on the course on Sustainable Water Management in Africa organised by the University of Cape Town from 29 August to 9 September 2016, you have now time until 17 June to apply!

This course adopts an interdisciplinary approach to examine the current water crises, trends and conditions in developing countries.

It critically engages with the technical, social, cultural, economic, political, economic and environmental challenges of water demand, supply and treatment with an understanding of the role of water in society and in sustaining livelihoods.

The course also includes a field trip to analyse the water demand and supply in a small country town.
