b. Formulation spécifique pour cette activité des AA du programme (maximum 10)
At the end of the activity the student should be able to :
- summarize the European legal framework on water quality and for soil protection ;
- explain the concepts of "good ecological and chemical status" of water bodies, soil quality and soil degradation;
- identify the main potential pollutants in waters and soils, as well as their main characteristics and properties, and explain the main mechanisms by which they could affect the different possible targets and produce an impact, at different spatial and temporal scales;
- explain, and differentiate for soil and water, the concepts of the DPSIR analysis scheme, and the concepts of water- and land- use;
- list the key elements and indicators (physico-chemical, chemical, biological and hydromorphological) of water or soil pollution, prioritize and explain their methods of measurement;
-define the concept of "quality standards" for water and soil, explain their scientific bases, critically interpret their values and use them adequately;
- make a first interpretation of data concentrations of contaminants in soil and groundwater in terms of risk;
- explain the principles of water flow and pollutant transport in soils, groundwater and surface waters;
- propose a monitoring network focussing on either water or soil quality that would be based on defined objectives and development means ; for each kind of network : justify the choices made concerning the measuring station locations and types of indicators;
- make good use of the legislations on water quality or on soil protection and contaminated site management;
- make good use of the principles of Risk Based Land Management ;
- identify, predict and justify the main treatment technologies for water treatment or for site remediation applicable for a given context.
