Acadamic
The Center is an interdisciplinary program which will concentrate on existing capacity and develop new capacity to facilitate collaboration across disciplines and across organizations on long term programmes and projects of direct relevance to Africa’s water sustainability. The ACEWM will have five (5) technical units and one core laboratory which are presented schematically.
Excellence in Water Education and training can be achieved through Master’s and Doctoral degree programmes, internship programmes, refresher short term technical training, support for students to study abroad and joint ventures in student training (between higher education institutions involved with the Consortium or otherwise). The Center provides high calibre students with the opportunity to study with ACEWM partners to further their knowledge.
ACEWM runs three streams under its Doctor of Philosophy in Water Management:
Aquatic Ecosystems Management
Couplings of the biogeochemistry of all components of the ecosystem, the drainage basin, land-water interface communities, .
Water Science and Technology
Water is essential and preservation of its safety in quantity and in quality is critical to the sustainable development of any society.
Hydrology and Water Resources
Hydrology deals with the understanding, appraisal and exploitation of hydrogeological resources.
The Master of Science in Water Management programs at ACEWM are offered in five streams:
Aquatic Ecosystems Management
