This course will deliver targeted skills development on climate change in strategic water management. Guided by expert speakers from the research and policy communities and by case studies presented by practitioners, we will be considering how to manage water under the influence of climate change.
Water is foundational to urban and regional socio-ecological systems. These systems encompass a range of economic activities, important ecologies and human communities. This course explores strategies to build overall systems resilience as rainfall and runoff is increasingly subject to uncertainty and disruption. Our focus is on the NSW jurisdiction, exploring themes that apply just as well elsewhere.
This course has been designed for practitioners looking to develop a specialisation or update their skills in natural resource management and looking to develop specialised skills in regulatory, policy, consulting responses to climate change and strategic water management.
Places are limited. L2A Strategic water management will run with a maximum of 30 participants to ensure quality of learning, and adequate scope for networking and engagement. The program will not be recorded to encourage open discussion.
The science of integrating climate projections into water modelling is developing rapidly and has major implications for strategic water management. We will explore how policy makers are addressing water security in light of this science and some of the implications for agriculture and mining.
5 May | 9.00am - 12.30pm
Climate change and the associated political and market responses are major sources of uncertainty in water resource planning. We will survey some of the ways in which industry and policy makers are managing this uncertainty, particularly in relation to water security for communities.
12 May | 9.00am - 12.30pm
Climate change is increasing uncertainty around rainfall and runoff, impacting on our social-ecological systems and economies. We will consider alternative social and economic approaches to accommodating this uncertainty in ways that enhance resilience.
26 May | 9.00am - 12.30pm
