Ecological engineering of aquatic environments

Understanding the complexity of conflicting uses is a prerequisite for the rational management of rivers, lakes and wetlands. In this module, the environmental management and restoration measures implemented by ecological engineering are discussed. The methodological approach is based on nature-based solutions (NBS) and regulatory tools. Field trips complete the courses, addressing the issue of geomorphological disturbance in rivers, wetland diagnosis and ecological continuity.

The aim of this module is to review the challenges and threats facing surface aquatic environments, and then to look at the management and restoration measures implemented by ecological engineering. At the end of this module, students will be able to :

- Master the botanical and pedological diagnostic tools required for wetland management plans.

- Propose solutions adapted to natural environment development issues

- Identify conflicts of use of a natural environment or resource
