Water Management in Mediterranean Climates: Past and Future Adaptation

Both the developed and developing world confront growing water shortages, driven by population increases, expansion of high-value agriculture, and exacerbating climate change. This research colloquium focuses on interdisciplinary implications for improving water security in California and other Mediterranean climate regions. By including government agencies actively involved in adaptation to climate change, the colloquium hopes to increase the ‘uptake’ of its results into public policy.

Professors: Matt Kondolf and Benjamin Porter
