The Joint M.Tech - PhD Programme in Water Management aims at providing integrated and interdisciplinary approaches, involving hydrological, biophysical, chemical, economic, institutional, legal, and policy-planning aspects, to solve the ever-growing set of water-related challenges in agriculture, industry, and domestic sectors. The Programme is intended for professionals and researchers from a wide range of backgrounds. It aims to develop knowledge, insight and skills required to design, implement and evaluate water management policies and strategies. Graduates will be able to promote the judicious use of water and achieve effective governance of water resources. Programme Structure Programme consists of foundation, specialization, and integration phases. The foundation phase provides latest insights, context, and concepts in integrated water and environment management issues. In the specialization phase, the students choose to make in-depth study either in Rural and Urban Water Management or Agricultural Water Management. In the integartion phase, the students are challenged to bring together and apply their cumulative learning process. The School offers following specialization: Core Subjects Integrated Water Resources Management, Water Distribution System, Wastewater Management, Water Management Laboratory, Water Governance & Policy Issues, River Basin Management, Water Resources System Analysis, and Planning & Design of Water Resource Projects. Elective Subjects Two broad elective streams of subjects are offered in the Programme. Rural and Urban Water Management Remote Sensing for Land & Water Resources, Free Surface Flow, Water Supply Systems, Environmental Hydraulics, Climate Impact on Water Resources, Coastal Zone Management, Project Engineering & Management, System Dynamics & Policy Planning, Business Economics, Environmental Setting of Socio-Technical Systems, Industrial Water Pollution Control, Flood Assessment & Management, Geogenic-water Pollution & Control, Integrated Watershed Management, Disaster Management, Environmental Impact Assessment, and Environmental Hydrogeology Agricultural Water Management Remote Sensing for Land & Water Resources, Modeling & Simulation for Agricultural Water Management, Mathematical Models in Hydrology, Climate Impact on Water Resources, Project Engineering & Management, System Dynamics & Policy Planning, Business Economics, Environmental Setting of Socio-technical Systems, Environmental Pollution & Stress, Advanced Groundwater Hydrology, Integrated Watershed Management, On-farm Water Management, and Vadose Zone Hydrology,
