Our planet is facing a water crisis, and how we develop our water services today is critical to a water-secure, sustainable tomorrow. Whether you’re a student, utility manager, engineer, consultant, or simply someone interested in what efficient urban water use looks like, this course is your first step to building your own awareness of sustainable water services.
A MOOC (/mu:k/) is a Massive Open Online Course. The goal of MOOCs are to serve millions of people around the world with flexible, quality education, for free. Qatium worked with Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) to create this MOOC, Introduction to sustainability in water services, so people interested in the topic have a flexible way to learn more about sustainable water services without the barrier of cost.
This course offers you a global view of water service challenges in the 21st century, including the impacts of population growth and climate change, and the methods that can help us achieve sustainable water services, so water scarcity does not become a global problem. The course explores how open digital water management tools like Qatium can help water utilities address water issues today and in the future.
