Description:
During the last few decades the demand for drinking and irrigation water has soared,
creating supply problems globally. Additionally, it is now recognized that water to support aquatic ecosystems is critical for the environment. The 20th century solution
to the supply problem, dam building, has lost it’s place among planners. New solutions,
including recycling wastewater and managed aquifer recharge, have become the primary
method for meeting the new demand both in developed and developing nations. This class will examine the supply problems and the future solutions, which are being
considered. It will do so in the context of the hydrologic and it’s associated
hydrochemical cycle.
Professor Jordan Clark, Earth Science & Environmental Studies, is a geochemist. His research is focused on understanding transport of solutes (often contaminants) in the environment, including through the groundwater system near areas of managed aquifer recharge.
