Urban Water Conflicts

Students in this course will review and discuss current literature on urban water conflicts using a case-study approach. We will consider the technical, economic, social, policy, and law aspects of the conflicts. Each student will take responsibility for leading 1-2 class sessions (depending on the final number of students enrolled in the course), and will write a description of the case study as well as a short proposal describing novel research on urban water conflicts. Course enrollment is capped. Permission to enroll must be obtained from the instructor through an application process.
