PS 420 - Water Politics: An Uphill Flow to Money

A comprehensive overview of water politics and policy, this class examines historical perceptions, development, Native Americans, ecology, and impending shortages. Focus is on the American West, but international dimensions are included. Students evaluate recurrent themes of misperception and misconstruction (both figurative and literal). Ultimately, students determine for themselves whether changes are necessary to prevailing water attitudes and uses.
