From Principles to Practice

Even if you are already tempted to incorporate an environmental dimension into what you already teach, its d…
Insatiable Thirst and a Finite Supply
Th e availability of freshwater for human consumption, agricultural production, economic development, and a variety of ecosystem services is at the forefront of global concerns regarding the sustainable use of natural resources.

Following World War II, groundwater depletion accelerated rapidly, threatening the sustainability of that Sunbelt boom. The state of Arizona, with prodding fr…
