Projekt Innovation plus (2019/20); Nummer 062

The module "Water Resources Systems Analysis" deals with Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) problems and their analytical evaluation for simulation and multi-criteria decision making. As active elements, a role play and a modelling contest were introduced.

The role play allows to take over a position of an actor in water resources management and discuss with other "actors" from class. Students can learn problems of intergrated management of water resources by an international example of high conflict potential. The participation and the feedback of students allowed to develop and improve a module tailored to their knowledge, interest and learning objectives. The module combines soft skills, practical knowledge and analytical techniques as recommended for modern water engineers and resources managers.
