Course Discription |
:
This course explores water resources in dry lands in terms of scarcity, quality, and variability. Students will examine hydrological, legal, political, and ecological implications of alternative water-management practices to cope with changes in water demand and supply due to human (population growth, economic changes) and natural (drought, climate change) factors. Special focus will be given to water harvesting techniques to obtain efficient, sustainable management of water resources and agriculture. |
