The options and methods of surface water diagnosis and of management and conservation will be understood. The European Water Framework Directive as the base for evaluation and management of freshwater resources will be known. Students will be able to evaluate the consequences of major impacts on ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services. Principal strategies for restoring impacted freshwater systems will be known.
