Water
and Dam |
| Introduction |
Water is a vital component of all life in the world. Safe
and clean water supply to local communities
is one of the utmost priorities in managing water quantity
and quality. A dam is constructed where
electricity generation, flood control, and/or safe water
supply is required. A dam may play a key
role in developing a watershed by supplying domestic and
irrigation water, and protection from
devastating flood damages in some areas. However, a dam
also may have a negative impact on
local development and the natural environment if the dam
draws and imposes legal limits to protect
dam water quality and natural environment around the watershed.
Water and dam must be wisely managed to avoid social conflicts
and help develop local
communities and watersheds. Engineering and environmental
technologies, public relations and
education, voluntary participation of various stakeholders,
and government incentives must be
comprehensively provided and applied. It may not be easy
but must be achieved for successful
water and dam management. The water and Dam Program is
being prepared to help the
students/trainees understand the basic principles of water
and dam management.
The goal of theWater and Dam Program is to
(1) provide practical watershed management techniques
for water quantity and quality control,
(2) assist to develop the capacity building of the
students and trainees in dealing with watershed
management, water quantity and quality control,
and water-related GO and NGO activities, and
(3) help build problem solving capacities of the
students and trainees in dealing with water-
related conflicts such as water right and water
withdrawal. |
The education and training of the Program will emphasize
the practical techniques and experiments
rather than theories. Topics of the program will be chosen
to satisfy the specific interests of the
students/trainees. Basic topics and the syllabus that
are currently available in the Water and Dam
Program are summarized in the outline of the Water and
Dam program. The topics and syllabus will
be updated and added as the program proceeds to better
serve the students/trainees.
More than 30 professors, scientists, consultants, and
experts in universities, research institutions,
NGO organizations, and the private sector will join the
teaching staff of the Water and Dam Program.
Those teaching staff will be assigned according to the
students/trainees's specific interests
depending on their specialties. And therefore, the students/trainees
will receive a good education
and training on what they want to learn and experience.
