Course Objective and brief Description
The fast and nonsustainable developement of wetland areas and basins leads to a diffraction of the hydrological circle (frequently floods, droughts and pollutions are the natural causes). On the other hand, the high demand for soil and water resources, increases the pollution rate. Under these conditions, there is urgent need of new approaches in basin management for providing sustainable soil and water recources.
