Second Semester. This course examines the social, political and economic dimensions of water-supply development. The course introduces students to hydrologic science, but focuses on the intersection of water development and the social relations of power that mediate access to this contentious resource, including recent privatization efforts. The course introduces water as a physical and social phenomenon, discusses management frameworks and then applies these concepts to the US and internationally.
