‘Understanding the risks and opportunities presented by the changing water cycle, and the intensifing demands and competition for freshwater, are some of the most pressing challenges facing scientists, water managers and policymakers. In the context of rapid climate, land cover and other environmental changes, the requirement to protect communities against water-related natural hazards; the stewardship of water resources to provide reliable water quantity and quality, and the provision of clean, safely-managed drinking water and improved sanitation to a population predicted to exceed 9 billion, constitute a defining challenge for the 21st century. This challenge has inspired the University of Oxford to offer a graduate programme in Water Science Policy and Management since 2004, which to date has seen over 350 students from 55 countries graduate, of which more than half are women.

درک خطرات و فرصت های ارائه شده توسط چرخه آب در حال تغییر، و تقاضاها و رقابت شدید برای آب شیرین، برخی از مهم ترین چالش های پیش روی دانشمندان، مدیران آب و سیاست گذاران است. در زمینه آب و هوای سریع، پوشش زمین و سایر تغییرات محیطی، الزام به حفاظت از جوامع در برابر خطرات طبیعی مرتبط با آب؛ نظارت بر منابع آب برای تامین کمیت و کیفیت آب قابل اعتماد، و ارائه آب آشامیدنی تمیز و با مدیریت ایمن و بهداشت بهبود یافته برای جمعیتی که پیش بینی می شود بیش از 9 نفر باشد. میلیارد دلار، چالشی تعیین کننده برای قرن بیست و یکم است. این چالش الهام بخش دانشگاه آکسفورد برای ارائه یک برنامه تحصیلات تکمیلی در سیاست و مدیریت علوم آب از سال 2004 بوده است که تا به امروز بیش از 350 دانشجو از 55 کشور فارغ التحصیل شده اند که بیش از نیمی از آنها زن هستند. این کتاب از مشارکت بیش از دوجین آکادمیک و متخصصی که این دوره را تدریس کردهاند، تشکیل شده است، که در هر مورد به صورت مشترک با بیش از دوجین فارغالتحصیل نوشته شده است– ادامه مطلب…
