The course will identify the hydrological perspective of climate change on water availability and and water quality.
The implications with respect to the usage of water will be outlined by contrasting an arid area in a developping country to the situation in Germany.
Strategies to cope with the challenges will be discussed.
The course has seminar character, i. e. the students will be actively involved in compilation of literature/data and development of concepts.
