About this Unit
Many land and water use activities in both urban and rural landscape result in hydrologic changes that have environmental, economic and social consequences and require appropriate management strategies for sustainable water use in catchments. In this unit, the hydrologic cycle and its different processes will be explored at different scales of urban and rural landscapes. The availability, demand and the use of water will be examined from hydrologic, environmental, economic and social perspectives. The unit is offered through ‘flexible mode’ using on-line learning resources, group facilitation, two workshops, a catchment tour and a mini project.
