The study of Sustainable Water Management is a field that concentrates on the social and political aspects of sustainable water management, such as public health and policy frameworks. It is intended for professionals who understand that a fundamental understanding of how humans affect and are affected by water quality and quantity is necessary for the performance of their duties.
Grants are now being offered by the Elisabeth & Amelie Fund to help international master’s degree candidates from a developing nation that is studying in Belgium to complete an internship.
The Fund, among other things, supports sustainable water management by funding on-the-spot internships for students from developing countries studying in Belgium.
