There will be 4 major strands that cover: why we need water policy; how water policy can be deployed; what water policy is deployed to address water quality, supply and wildlife; and a series of sessions on water works that considers the water industry in terms of how it fits into the water cycle and from the point of view of employment. The issues will range from international to local and will also cover tribal water law.
- Grading:
- Grading will be based on attendance, an essay, a science brief and a policy brief (together with public awareness material).
- Class Format:
- Classes will involve both lectures from the instructor and interactive sessions involving input from the class. Topics covered in the first half of the course will concentrate on principles and in the second half putting principles into practice. In particular there will be a major assignment in the second half where groups will focus on different aspects of the quality of waters in Minnesota developing policy briefs on status and how improvements might be achieved through appropriate management. The policy briefs will also be developed into materials for raising public awareness.
