Course Description:
This seminar will examine the history of freshwater use and law in the United States. We will learn about historical and emerging contaminants in our waters, the ways in which we treat drinking water and wastewater, and research on how strained water resources are changing the way we must treat water for potable use. These topics will be viewed through the lens of climate change as "floods, droughts and other water-related hazards increase due to climate change, while the number of people experiencing 'water stress' continues to rise amid population growth and dwindling availability" (UN News 2021). |
