Water Management, Politics Topic for Oct. 7 Water Initiative Seminar

[Note: To avoid a conflict with New York Times correspondent Matthew Wald’s talk, the Oct. 7 USU Water Initiative Seminar takes place at a different time and location than originally scheduled.]

Ingram is professor emeritus and research fellow at the Southwest Center, University of Arizona and professor emeritus at the University of California, Irvine.
