    Studying through video was tough because no English language was available, therefore, I collected other materials according to the course content. It would be better if the English language was available, it was sort of confusing listening in another language and reading the subtitles in English. However, the course content was really good. I admire the examples and case studies all along the course.

The course's flexibility and user-friendly online platform added to its convenience and accessibility.

    Overall, the International Water Law online certification course provides transformative learning, equipping participants with valuable knowledge and skills to address water-related challenges effectively.

    It is an amazing course, a fascinating subject, of a crucial importance in particular within the current challenges we Humans have to manage - RE sustainability and climate change and Renewable Energy!!! I am glad I am fluent in French, in this regard it was refreshing to follow a course in French. I learned a lot about international water law, very important for me to understand this as I am interested in the Extractive Industry and Human Rights, often conflicts between business and local communities are or may be triggered by the impact a project may have on access to water by the locals once the project starts - dams, hydropower projects, etc they all may or not depending on how matters are handled limit access to water or change the course of waters to the locals so it is brilliant to learn about international water law with a view to prevent conflict within a Human rights compliance due diligence exercise. Mille Mercis. Les professeurs/Professeures sont tous et toutes excellents/excellentes!!!

    It's my longtime ambition fulfilled in acquiring exposure on the international water law and environmental law which is very important in management of Transboundary waterResources . The learning on principles of resolving conflicts on sharing common water resources and governance of Joint Mechanisms such as River basin authority,River Commission or River Boards very useful for developing cooperation and good faith among the riparian states to prevent and resolve water disputes thereby protecting the environment, ecology of the River basin and the riparian rights of human population dependent on the common resource. This knowledge enhances my career opportunities to work in the field of hydropolitics and conflict resolution in sharing common water resources through cooperation.

    International water law course has added a new dimension to the understanding of the International law. In course of learning the protection and management of Non-Navigational use of transboundary water resource, I have learnt development of international water law through various conventions and judgments of ICJ and tribunals wherein 'right to water' and 'community of interests' are great contributions. Dispute and conflict resolution mechanisms have given greater clarity.

    All the faculty members deserves lots of thanks who have developed well structured course for the benefit of global community. Thank you very much COURSERA.

    This is a very illustrative program, for a person such as myself who has had no prior background nor interaction with water law, I found it quite easy to follow the lectures. I felt a genuine effort on the part of the lecturers to pass and create awareness on the applicability of conventions and the roles of basin commissions in the management of global water resources. Every module was relevant and I benefited a great deal in understanding how riparian states resolve disputes that arise from the use of water resources. I will gladly recommend this program to lawyers, global development experts and public administrators

    First. I would like to thank all the course instructor for the in depth knowledge and the ease of language use throughout the course. The course was very informative and indeed useful for the benefit of the society, human health, ecology and the environment.

    If given an opportunity, I will definitely like to a part of any such organisation dealing with water resources and environmental resources, ensuring sustainable development.

    Excellent option!! I just wish there were more options to get the tittle for people from underdeveloped countries. For example I come from Cuba, and do not have access to any of the required payment options. But still, I loved learning with coursera, the most important outcome is all the new knowledge, and skills, and for that: no titlle needed!!

    I thoroughly enjoyed this course! Very insightful and quite challenging, so you really have to focus. The tests are fair and require you to think and read carefully. I am only disappointed that I cannot have more in depth discussions with the lecturers on the subject matter! I highly recommend this course, even if only interests' sake!

    Excellent MOOC allowing a non-specialist to put one foot in international water law. It is growing the appetite for more course about the "water topic" which is becoming of great concern.
