Protecting global water resources is one of the key problems facing the 21st century and this course will examine the management of this invaluable resource. From non-point source urban and agriculture runoff to industrial and municipal effluent to resource extraction from source to be sold elsewhere, the problems of maintaining a sustainable water supply will be examined and solutions for implementation will be assessed. Floods, droughts, water quality, water-ecosystem and soil-water-climate interactions, and the sustainability of water resources are important issues in water resources management and will be emphasized in this course.Weekly
