edXWater is the connector: climate change, geopolitics, economics, and ecology all meet at water systems. This course treats water governance as central to sustainable development—not optional.
You'll start with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation) and the scales involved: transboundary watersheds cross borders; climate change shifts precipitation and flow; competing needs (agriculture, energy, human consumption) require negotiation.
The course teaches you governance, planning, diplomacy, and financing—the tools that actually move water systems toward sustainability. Case studies from around the world show how countries negotiate shared rivers, manage groundwater, and finance infrastructure in the face of scarcity and uncertainty. Essential for environmental professionals, water managers, diplomats, and policy makers working at the intersection of resource scarcity and development.
