Master in Hydrology and Water Resources Management + University Degree

Hydrology is the specialization of Earth Sciences focused on the study of water, its occurrence, distribution, circulation and physical, chemical and mechanical properties in the oceans, atmosphere and earth's surface. On the other hand, the water resources are the available water resources, in sufficient quantity and quality, in one place and in an appropriate period of time to respond to a demand. Through this Master in Hydrology and Management of Hydic Resources, students are offered a wide training in the management of water resources with which they can specialize in this sector, based on the basis of the fundamental concepts of hydrology.

Among the main objectives of the Master in Hydrology and Hydric Resources Management, we highlight the following: - Analyze the hydrological cycle and know the processes of quantification of the hydrological and energy balance. - Expand knowledge about the methods used to determine the magnitude of rainfall, as well as about your analysis. - Expand knowledge about the phenomena of infiltration, evaporation and runoff, as well as calculate direct runoff. - Analyze the influence of man in the water cycle and drought, aridity and shortage phenomena. - Expand knowledge about water pollution, as well as the types of pollutants and main sources of pollution, deepening the concepts of acidification and eutrophication. - Analyze the uses of water, in industry, agriculture and hydroelectric use. - Know the different plans and strategies of Spain related to the management and use of water. - Know the aquatic ecosystems. - Know the management of river basins. - Manage water resources from an economic point of view. - Control water pollution. - Know the previous concepts on water quality. - Learn how water control is exercised. - Identify the characteristics of the aquatic media. - Describe water regulations. - Know how sampling is done for the analysis of drinking water. - Know how sampling is done for the analysis of wastewater. - Learn how to exercise and record instruments and meters installed in ETAP. - Know how the data and instruments data and meters installed in EDAR is carried out. - Acquire notions about microorganism count. - Identify the microorganisms that are considered fecal indicators and how their count is carried out. Interpret the sequence of treatments used for water production for human consumption. - Prepare, dose and apply the appropriate amounts of the necessary reagents for the operation of the chemical water treatment processes. - Analyze the operation of water supply and distribution networks to determine their functional characteristics and parameters in order to plan their execution. - Analyze the functioning of sanitation networks to determine their characteristics and functional parameters in order to plan their execution. - Interpret projects of works of supply and distribution networks of water and sanitation to obtain the necessary information prior to their planning. - Adapt the work plans that were necessary when the rethinking of the work of a water supply and distribution network does not adjust to the corresponding project, in different cases proposed. - Prepare work plans for assembling water supply and distribution networks and sanitation in accordance with the corresponding project and established procedures. - Determine the needs for provisioning of resources necessary based on the interpretation of projects of works of supply and distribution networks of water and sanitation, and completing the documentation and initial permits of the work, within the framework of its competences. - Analyze the tasks of hydrological-forest correction and the realization of them adapting to the project or technical plan. - Acquire the basic knowledge about the environmental effects that the different activities that cause pollution have on the different components of the marine ecosystem. - Know the main sources of marine pollution and study in particular the contamination caused by hydrocarbons and urban wastewater. - Know the most common treatments of containment and elimination of oil discharges and concepts General on urban wastewater treatment and their evacuation to the sea through submarine emissaries.

Study and design of water supply infrastructure, collection, purification, desalination, hydroelectricity, etc. Operation of supply infrastructure, purification, etc. Management of user communities. Environmental sector.

Thanks to the Master in Hydrology and Hydric Resources Management you can acquire the appropriate professional knowledge and skills to specialize in this sector, one of the most relevant in the field of environmental protection, as well as in urban management or geology.

The Master in Hydrology and Management of Hydic Resources is aimed at students and professionals in the field of engineering, architecture, geology, biology, environmental protection and other related, who want to obtain professional specialization in the field of water resources management. Similarly, he addresses any person who for personal or professional reasons wants to train in this area, to develop his professional career in the area.

This training is not included in the scope of official regulated training (Infant Education, Primary Education, Secondary Education, Official Professional Training FP, Baccalaureate, University Degree, Official University Master and PhD). It is therefore a complementary and/or specialization training, aimed at acquiring certain skills, skills or aptitudes of a professional nature, being able to be barely as merit in workbags and/or opposition competitions, always within the complementary training section and/or continuous training being always essential to review the specific requirements of the public labor stock of the public labor stock market.
