课程简介

课程名称：水资源管理与政策 课程概述： 在当今社会，水资源管理面临着气候变化和人类活动等新挑战。公共和私营部门的相关利益方必须开发新的方法，以更好地管理水循环的整体。该在线课程的目标是帮助学员理解与水资源管理相关的问题。课程首先将定义“资源”的概念，并特别关注水资源的定义。将讨论水的使用及其相关活动，以及可能出现的冲突。课程将详细分析水管理，包括与多部门法规系统开发或流域管理方法相关的不同权利和义务。 学习目标： 1）识别与水资源管理相关的主要问题和策略； 2）获取必要的关键阅读材料，以理解影响水资源的多种变量（环境、机构和政治），并在管理方面可能需要进行调整。 该课程由日内瓦水中心开发，参与者包括来自日内瓦大学的研究人员，其他大学和研究中心的研究人员，以及日常处理水资源管理政治方面事务的从业人员。 本课程适合所有对水资源领域感兴趣的学员，无需具备先前培训。课程中的发现可以轻松应用于不同情境和分析尺度。 该课程得到日内瓦水中心和日内瓦大学的支持，并与《生态系统服务：可持续发展的方法》和《国际水法》这两门MOOC课程相关联。课程资金来自瑞士发展与合作署（SDC）的全球水倡议计划。 课程大纲： 模块1：从资源定义到社区管理理想 模块2：资源的规则、用途及其规避 模块3：从综合水资源管理到水—粮食—能源与生态系统的联系 模块4：综合流域管理（IWM） 模块5：水作为冲突与合作的源头 希望本课程为您提供了一些有趣的新视角，并激励您进一步探索水资源管理领域。感谢您的参与！

课程大纲

Name:Module 1: From Resource Definition to the Ideals of Community Management

Description:Welcome to this MOOC in Water Resources Management and Policy! We look forward to supporting you throughout the duration of the course. In this first module, we will define the concept of a resource. This will help you to understand the various uses and demands that are placed on water. Next, we will address the issues linked to the management of a common good such as water. Here, we will draw on the work of Elinor Ostrom. We will examine several examples of how the commodity is managed: by the state, by industry or by the community. Two cases studies of community water management in Latin America will be presented. The module is concluded by a quiz worth 20% of the final grade. You must have at least 80% of the responses correct to pass the module.

Name:Module 2: The Rules of the Resource, their Uses and their Circumvention

Description:Businesses that manage water are guided by property law and public policy designed to define and coordinate all the demands on the resource. This second module aims to better understand the complexity of these two bodies of law through the framework of the Institutional Resource Regime (IRR). This framework is presented and then applied to two case studies (Swiss and European) to understand the rules governing water management in these territories. Finally, we will go beyond this framework to address the implementation of these rules by looking at examples of how the law is applied and examples of localised regulation. The module is concluded by a quiz worth 20% of the final grade. You must have at least 80% of the responses correct to pass the module

Name:Module 3: From Integrated Water Resource Management to the Water-Food-Energy and Ecosystem Nexus

Description:Having discussed the rules governing water management and their implementation, this third module deals with the issues associated inter-sectorial water resources. It focuses on two existing concepts. Firstly, we look at the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) focusing on the coordinated management of water and any associated resources. Secondly, we look at the approach known as the Nexus Water-Energy-Food and Ecosystems. This approach is examined in light of the water users but also how they interact with other sectors. The Mekong River and the Columbia River (USA) are used as case studies to bring to life the difficulties of reconciling different uses of a river, such as hydropower, food security and the protection of ecosystems. The module is concluded by a quiz worth 20% of the final grade. You must have at least 80% of the responses correct to pass the module.

Name:Module 4: The Integrated Watershed Management (IWM)

Description:In this module, we further examine water management but this time we look specifically at how watersheds are managed. We see how stakeholders in Switzerland, in Europe (with the case of the Rhine) and internationally have promoted this concept as a reference for water management. These case studies allow us to identify the benefits and limitations (both practical and institutional) that are presented by the Integrated Watershed Management approach. The module is concluded by a quiz worth 20% of the final grade. You must have at least 80% of the responses correct to pass the module.

Name:Module 5: Water as a Source of Conflict and Cooperation

Description:We have reached the final module. Module 5 is dedicated to the issues of conflict and cooperation associated with water resources. We will present the framework of hydro-hegemony with the aim of understanding transboundary interactions. This will be illustrated with the case of the Nile River Basin. Here we examine the relationship between Egypt (as the country furthest downstream) and the other riparian countries. The various institutional mechanisms for cooperation among states will be detailed. This will include an examination of how international river basins are managed using the Senegal River Development Organisation and the Mekong River Commission as case studies. The role of international water law in cooperation forms the final part of this module. The module is concluded by a quiz worth 20% of the final grade. You must have at least 80% of the responses correct to pass the module. We hope that this course has presented you with some interesting new perspectives and has encouraged you to want to explore the field of water management further. Thank you for participating!
