Diplomas awarded at the Regional School of Water
The Regional School of Water offers training diplomas in Water Resources (Master or MSc/DEA equivalent, and Doctorate or PhD equivalent), a discipline based on an integrated and transversal perspective of water management and engineering. 'water.
Postgraduate Training Program in Water Resources
The Water Resources training program is designed for graduate training at the Master (MSc/DEA) and Doctorate (PhD) levels, and focuses on aspects of water resources management and engineering with a view to meeting to the needs of management and development of water resources at the national and regional level.
Objectives of the Postgraduate training in Water Resources
The objectives pursued by this program are as follows :
- Training of human resources specialized in water resources management, equipped with modern tools and capable of responding to the challenges of the day, of understanding and managing water resources in an integrated and transversal manner (from the source to the use and discharge) taking into account climate and sustainable development issues ;
- Introduction and initiation to scientific research in the areas of water ;
- Development of knowledge on the management of water resources with a view to maximizing the resulting economic and social well-being in an equitable manner, without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems.
Expected results
The expected results for this program are :
- A significant number of researchers and water resources professionals are made available to the DRC and the region, with the following skills :
- Use of a broad field of fundamental and applied scientific knowledge;
- Serve as an interface between “scientific and technical knowledge” and “public policy management” in the field of water resources management ;
- Use of innovative scenarios (hydrological modeling for example), and analyze all the technical, economic and social consequences. They must be able to listen, adapt, convince and communicate better. - Promote, through those in power, the economic value of water and its social, political, institutional and environmental aspects.
Skills to acquire
At the end of this program, learners will be able to :
- Have a thorough understanding of the theories and concepts of surface hydrology, physical, chemical and biological interactions between the hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere and atmosphere ;
- Have in-depth knowledge of natural and anthropogenic variations in hydrological systems;
- Possess technical and scientific knowledge and integration skills to advise and support authorities in decision-making, policy development and regulation to manage water resources, meet water needs and ensure availability for generations current and future ;
- Assess and analyze hydrological systems and processes at a wide range of scales in space and time for the purposes of water resources assessment, natural hazard assessment and mitigation, and environmental planning and management ;
- Possess specialist knowledge of modeling tools and practical skills in conducting simulations for the planning, design, operation and management of specific water resource systems ;
- Analyze and interpret hydrological data and spatial data for water resources management and use measurement techniques to monitor water resources ;
- Understand and analyze the institutional, socio-economic and political problems linked to the development and management of water resources;
- Understand and analyze issues related to stormwater and flood control, irrigation and drainage, groundwater, water treatment, water quality protection of ecosystems and other natural resources ;
- Interact with and integrate other relevant scientific fields to find sustainable solutions supporting the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management principles through an appropriate science-policy interface ;
- Undertake critical reflection on known and new theories, models or interpretations within the specialty ;
- Plan and execute data collection campaigns aimed at specific targets and critically evaluate the results ;
- Design and conduct hydrological research and experiments for professional or scientific purposes, independently or as part of a team ;
- Use information and communication technologies in a water resources management context ;
- Be able to cooperate in a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary framework with due regard to ethical and social aspects related to the application of their knowledge and skills.
