The Water Use Specialist course equips learners with the expertise needed to govern, regulate, and monitor the sustainable use of water resources within the framework of national legislation and policy. This advanced programme prepares students to become key players in managing water use authorisations, ensuring compliance, and contributing to the development of effective regulatory strategies that support equitable and responsible water allocation.
Throughout the course, learners will develop the skills to evaluate water use applications, review compliance to authorisations, and support the enforcement of water use regulations. They will also explore how to analyse complex water use data, align institutional processes with national frameworks, and recommend improvements to ensure that water resources are managed in line with environmental, social, and economic priorities.
Students will be introduced to the policy environment and international protocols that shape water use governance, gaining insight into how regulatory decisions impact water security and sustainable development. Ideal for professionals in regulatory bodies, catchment management agencies, or environmental consultancies, this course provides the knowledge and competencies required to lead the assessment, monitoring, and strategic planning of water use.
