Course Content
The issue of water security, national security, human health, and ecosystem services is currently receiving considerable attention. Water security index can be calculated based on include five main dimensions: households, socio-economy, urban cities, environment, and resilience to natural disasters. Water security usually can be achieved through the concept of Integrated water management, which demands a new framework within which there may be a need for significant changes in existing interactions between politics, laws, regulations, institutions, civil society, and the consumer-voter. The capacity to make these changes depends therefore on changes in governance. The course covers the topics related to water security and governance with applications and case studies from Egypt and other countries.
