Fieldwork Water Quality for Double Degree WCM |
| Leerdoelen |
The students will be able to understand different topics related to the management of water quality and the relationships between spatial planning/land use and water quality in international context. Example topics addressed in the course include: agriculture, pollution and water management; renewable energy and water; wetlands, protected nature parks and water quality; cross-border water (quality) management); water purification. Further aim of the fieldwork is to practice different presentation techniques by giving an ‘on-site’ presentation and preparing a critical statement for discussion in groups on a water quality related topic provided by the lecturers. The students are expected to also actively collect primary data during fieldwork by asking questions from invited experts, documenting the discussions and integrating the collected material in a meaningful, coherent and critical manner to their final report. Learning to work as a group in planning, conducting and presenting research is an essential part of the field-work. A final goal of the fieldwork is to introduce to the students different water-related professions available for them in the water management field. |
| Omschrijving |
The course starts with an introductory lecture about the management of water quality and an introduction to the context of the Netherlands. The students will be introduced to a number of central concepts pertaining to planning for water quality. In addition, a tutorial about the online fieldwork assignment and planning will be held. Prior to the (online) fieldwork the students are required to develop a research question, do preliminary desk research and prepare a presentation about a group topic assigned, to be presented online. During the online fieldwork day, the students will collect additional data via expert interviews to answer their research questions. The final product of the course will be a written report, combining the desk research and interview data. The online presentation will also form a part of the final grade for this course. Given the current COVID-19 regulations, a water sampling day will also be held, to practice data collection methods in the field. |
