The course aims to
make students aware of the aspects of water availability and consumption and
the effects that can lead to critical situations that could endanger the safety
of the water supply. It aims to show how the supply systems and water availability
are inseparable from the environmental/climatic aspects. From this starting
point, water resource management actions arise. A management plan that will
have to be integrated into the hydrological cycle and that calls for a circular
economy vision to guarantee sustainability prospects. The goal is to introduce
risk and reliability analysis tools for water resources.
