The Global Struggle for Water
Water scarcity now poses serious constraints
on food security, ecological health, and regional
peace and stability in many parts of the world.
This course examines the history of water development,
the signs and consequences of water scarcity
today, and the emerging politics of water. Case
studies provide an opportunity to grapple with
real-world problems.

"These temple-destroyers, devotees
of ravaging commercialism, seem to
have a perfect contempt for Nature,
and instead of lifting their eyes
to the God of the mountains, lift
them to the Almighty Dollar. Dam Hetch
Hetchy! As well dam for water-tanks
the people's cathedrals and churches,
for no holier temple has ever been
consecrated by the heart of man."
--John Muir
