Course Description
It is no secret that water is the most critical substance for the sustenance of life. And yet the prognosis for the quality and
supply of both local and global water resources is somewhere between troubling
and dire. What gives? This course provides a framework for students
to learn about our water future and ways we might define and achieve
sustainability in water management. We will investigate these topics via thoughtful reading,
critical writing, class and on-line discussion, and collaborative group
projects.
