Water Quality Monitoring, Assessment & Management: A Guide to the Modular GEMS/ Water Training Programme

Due to the success of this programme and the high demands expressed by network participants, it was agreed by the GEMS/WATER Steering Committee to develop a comprehensive guide which compiles all training course opportunities currently available from collaborating centres in the global network. The aim of this guide is to provide water resources management authorities, water surveillance agencies, regulatory bodies and external support agencies with detailed information about readily available training courses. Course descriptions cover aims, target audiences, course contents and the more practical organizational details. The guide also provides examples on how a series of courses can be packaged into a modular training programme for a specific target group of trainees.
