This week-long course will critically reflect on the practical and theoretical facets of water security to develop a better foundation upon which to achieve developmental and environmental objectives. You will be introduced to and explore different interpretations of water security in an international and developing economy context.  You will acquire a wide variety of tools and analytical frameworks from a variety of disciplines and an extended understanding of this key national and global issue and will leave the course with an ability to critically assess and address current water security issues and policies and to gain an appreciation of the relations between water security and development, health, climate, food, and national security.  The course is delivered by a range of different academics and professionals currently researching in these fields. This is also an excellent opportunity to develop your contacts and networks.
