Integrated Catchment Management
ENS 351
(Offering: 2003)
Description
The course Integrated Catchment Management adopts a conceptual approach to natural resource management within river (or groundwater) basins. Integrated catchment management problems and strategies are typically complex and intersectoral in nature, and incorporate the cascading effects of land water and biological utilisation. Integrated catchment management involves aspects of pollution control, minimisation of soil degradation and erosion, maintenance of drainage systems (waterways, water quality and fisheries habitats) and vegetation management in unique social, economic and political settings. These issues will be couched within the National framework for catchment management and the National Action Plan.
