UNESCO-IHE is one of the best institution in water education. Within 18 months (2006-2008) there had given me tremendous experience in the beautiful city of Delft. With marvelous environment; professional faculty and staff; had resulted an outstanding institution.

It is a real pride to be an ex-IHE student. I learned a lot while studying hidrology there. Right now I am working as a consultant for a new water supply system in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Central America. There is a large water shortage....and we are trying hard to partially solve the problem. I am enjoying it.
The best of all for everyone,

One of the best Institutions to do a short course, they pack a lot of material and content in 2 weeks giving you as much practical information in that short span. Keep up the good work, IHE
