GEOL 364 Field Studies: Environmental Geology and Water Resources in the Developing World (4)

Global water resources are stressed, and many developing nations have urgent challenges facing them for the foreseeable future. India is one such country struggling with water management (too little supply during most part of the year or too much during the monsoon season). In this course, we will travel to locations in the Ganges River (also known as Ganga River) basin to learn how India is managing water resources and planning for a future that may bring more extreme shifts in drought and flood cycles, affecting the nexus of people and the environment.
