Course Description

 

Energy and water are both critical and interdependent resources. Water is essential for energy production and energy is necessary for water provision. Energy also impacts water quality, even while the availability of water dictates the quality of energy choices. Worldwide, urban population growth is skyrocketing, placing increased demands on energy infrastructure and water resources. Furthermore, an increasing number of cities are located in regions that are critically short of water. Greater efficiencies and integrated planning are necessary to ensure availability of adequate water supplies, as well as to identify appropriate energy production and generation technologies.

 

This course is designed to assist government policy makers and regulators, as well as water utilities and the energy industry, design, plan, and regulate cross-sectoral strategies and develop projects that increase water and energy efficiencies.

 

IP3’s team of training experts offers practical experience with top presentation skills. Participants who successfully complete the course requirements will receive a Certificate of Achievement.

 

By the end of the course, participants will have achieved the learning outcomes provided below.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Analyzing how water scarcity is affecting developing countries and threatening economic development
  • Comparing the necessary regulatory reforms to deal with this changing landscape
  • Evaluating how energy efficiencies, technologies, and choices can impact water availability and quality
  • Illustrating best practices in water efficiency and reuse
  • Applying global and local strategies to promote low emissions development
  • Visiting with leading US water and energy utilities experts
  • Creating your own Action Plan to implement a cross-sectoral strategy for your own organization and country
  • Networking with your fellow participants and water and energy security experts
