Content
Integrated catchment management considers how land, water and ecosystem issues impact on the quantity and quality of water in our river catchments as well as how our catchments can be managed in a sustainable way to maximise social, cultural, financial and environmental outcomes. In this unit, students will study and work with natural processes and evaluate holistic approaches for sustainable water management to engineer landscapes that support natural systems and ensure longer-term sustainability of catchments. Students will apply scientific processes to quantify and assess catchment change and impacts, and will apply engineering principles to suggest interventions and approaches to manage hydrological flow pathways throughout the catchment. Such evidence based and scientific approaches are highly valued in the field, as engineers are required to fully engage all stakeholders to commit to actively changing and perturbing catchment systems in a sustainable manner. Students will develop expertise to promote the management of environment for collective benefits. They will work with and learn how to engage the community in engineering solutions that address issues such as flooding, pollution and ecosystem management.
