CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION – THE KEY TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: HYDROECOLOGY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

Providing clean water and sanitation for all is one of the priorities of sustainable development. Water-related problems remain relevant at the global level, and their effective management requires highly qualified specialists. In response to these challenges, the educational program “Hydroecology, Management and Transboundary Water Security” was launched in S. Amanzholov East Kazakhstan University in 2023.

The main objective of the program is to train highly qualified specialists able to effectively solve the problems of protection of aquatic ecosystems, sustainable use and management of water resources at different levels – from local to international. Graduates of the program have deep knowledge and practical skills in the field of hydroecology, environmental monitoring and protection of aquatic ecosystems.

Training includes theoretical and practical classes, as well as field studies that allow students to gain valuable experience. As part of the program, students study sustainable use of water resources, mechanisms of international legal regulation and methods of ensuring water security. This approach prepares students to address the environmental challenges associated with the conservation and management of aquatic ecosystems.

The Hydroecology, Management and Transboundary Water Security program is an important step in preparing professionals who will contribute to the sustainable development and protection of water resources.
