About This Course
The Integrated Water Resources, Watershed Management & Climate-Resilient Landscapes Training Course is a premium, competency-based programme designed to equip water resource professionals, agricultural specialists, environmental managers, engineers, policymakers, researchers, and development practitioners with advanced knowledge and practical skills to sustainably manage water resources, restore watersheds, and build resilient landscapes that support food security, ecosystem health, and climate adaptation. The programme integrates Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), watershed and river basin management, groundwater conservation, ecosystem restoration, nature-based solutions, climate-smart agriculture, hydrology, digital water technologies, geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and evidence-based water governance. Through practical field applications, hydrological assessments, digital mapping, case studies, and implementation projects, participants develop integrated water and landscape management strategies that strengthen environmental sustainability, climate resilience, rural livelihoods, and long-term water security.
What You’ll Learn
