    New Course – Sustainable Water Systems
    It is often said when discussing sustainable practices that people need to think globally and act locally. This is especially true when dealing with water resources. Unlike any other resource, water cycles through the earth’s environments at global and continental scales, but at each step of that journey serves as a highly valued local resource. This is the first course in the sustainable approach to water in buildings, sites, and campuses series.
