Review and discussion of recent literature in field complements the material covered in ESPM 4061; co-attendance is required. 4061 also addresses the science and art of water quality decision making, with a strong international focus. We discuss ecology of aquatic ecosystems, how they are valuable to society, how they are changed by landscape management, and how we make informed decisions about that management. We rely heavily on case studies, impaired waters and the TMDL process, and student engagement in simulating water quality decision making. Worklload is in addition to that listed for ESPM 4061W
