Students from the Montpellier Master in Water Sciences explore water management in the Netherlands in the context of climate change
From 4 to 10 February 2024, 10 students from the Water and Society, Water and Agriculture and Water Resources courses of the Montpellier Master in Water Sciences (University of Montpellier, AgroParisTech, Institut Agro) took part in an international field trip in the Netherlands, co-organised by the IHE-Delft and AgroParisTech.
Thanks to visits and meetings with institutional stakeholders and academics, the students learned about and analysed some of the challenges facing the Netherlands in terms of water management influenced by of climate change. They focused on historical issues relating to water and agriculture, energy and waterscapes, polders and land reclamation, as well as more recent issues such as drought management and the place of nature in Delta works.
