Universities, University Water Departments & Other Academic Resources

Universities and Colleges around the world have departments involved in water, water planning and water conflicts.

Such diverse subjects as philosophy, and psychology can and do deal with the problems of not having enough, or of having too much water in one place.

Other fields which deal more directly with water and water resources and geography, geology, architecture, and government. 

As our society grows and changes, the academic world leads in the discussion about these important issues. They also provide a large amount of information to the general public about natural resource and water topics.

One very good source of information are the many university and college related web sites. Some of those are listed below. 

(Note: please email us with your University, College, or Academic web site for inclusion in the list.)
