Training in Water Resources Modelling for ARA-Sul

A Tailor-Made Training on Water Resources Modelling was required to equip the staff of the water agencies in Mozambique (ARAs) with additional knowledge to have a stronger advisory role towards policy and decision makers, and people living in the area. FutureWater provided this training to ARA-Sul and ARA-Norte. This training was funded by NUFFIC’s Tailor-Made Training Programme (TMT), which is part of the Netherlands Fellowship Programmes (NFP), and is specifically meant to enhance the overall functioning of an organization by training a selected group of its staff members. The training covered theory on hydrological modelling concepts and on data requirements, data quality and data availability in data scarce environments. Furthermore the training consisted of exercises to practice the use of GIS software and to set up and apply a Water Resources Model.
