Introduction to Watershed Management

Watershed management focuses on interdisciplinary approach to issues within watersheds, with economic, legal, policy, and community development issues contributing as much to solutions as biology, engineering, hydrology and chemistry. An effective watershed manager must understand the science behind water resources management and have skills in public relations, policy-making, and program evaluation.This course is intended to provide the student with an overview of these various disciplines. Faculty from the Watershed Management Professional Program with expertise in these disciplines will assist in conducting the course.
