School of Environmental Sciences | Charles Sturt University

The course aims to provide natural resource managers with a sound theoretical background and practical experience in river hydrology, ecology, restoration and water policy. The development of this course was initiated by "Land & Water Australia" after the identification of an urgent need for improved education and training programs for professionals involved in river management and restoration projects. The Course Advisory Committee established to oversee development of the course curriculum includes representatives from government, industry, community and academic staff and the subjects have been selected in line with the essential content requested by Land and Water Australia.
