IWC offers training courses in water stewardship in Brisbane

The International WaterCentre (IWC), in partnership with Water Stewardship Australia, is offering a series of training courses designed for people and organisations interested in developing their knowledge and skills to manage, implement and promote good water stewardship.

Three individual courses (foundation, advanced and specialist levels) will be offered at the IWC offices in Brisbane from 18–20 September 2015.

The training courses are accredited by the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) and are aligned with the international ISEAL-compliant Water Stewardship Standard (AWS Standard), the only globally consistent standard for how water should be managed and stewarded at a site- and catchment-level in a way that is environmentally, socially and economically beneficial.

The courses cater to both water users in the industry and resource managers. They will also be of value to civil society or NGOs, government agencies and donor organisations interested in advocating for and implementing responsible and sustainable water and natural resource management approaches.

Packages are available for one day, two days and three days of the training program.
