Revolutionizing the decision-making approach to water resources management

WOW! -- Waters of the West & Water Resources Graduate Program

  “Water of the West: Towards a Sustainable, Interdisciplinary Water Resources Program,” was awarded a $1.6 million grant from UI over five years, led by Jan Boll, professor of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, to launch a water resources graduate program and develop a methodology to conduct integrated basin analyses.

 The educational program will train students to address complex water resources issues by building disciplinary depth in concert with multidisciplinary breadth to understand focused problems and communicate across disciplines.

 To accomplish this objective, the program is being designed to have three overlapping degree focus areas:

•  Water Resources Engineering & Science

•  Water Resources Science & Management

•  Water Resources Law, Management & Policy

 The integrated, interdisciplinary graduate program in Water Resources started in Fall 2007.   For more information, go to http://water.uidaho.edu/
