Miranda Chase
Hope you are all enjoying the summer.
My name is V. Miranda Chase, and I will be co-teaching a course on socio-ecological water systems this fall at Babson College. I'm reaching out to you because I would like to ask for suggestions you might have on readings and other pedagogical materials about water rights in the US. By that I mean mostly the rules and regulations that determine how water is allocated to farmers, Tribal nations, cities, industries, and nature (if there is any water left...) My understanding is that the poor management of water permits has led the Colorado and many other rivers to be overallocated. How are water permits distributed in the US, and why is this problem so hard to fix?
Following group norms, I would appreciate it if you could send things to me directly and I will compile and share everything later.
Many thanks in advance for any references and suggestions.
