PS 420 - Water Politics and Policy

A comprehensive overview of water politics and policy, including historical perceptions and development, Native Americans, ecology, and impending shortages. Focus is on the American West, yet international dimensions are included. Recurrent themes of misperception and misconstruction (both figurative and literal) will be evaluated. Ultimately, students will determine for themselves whether changes are necessary to prevailing water attitudes and uses.
