| Lecture/Lab The student will apply team building and personal communication skills to the development of basin- wide watershed management planning; study fundamental water resources management concepts as applied to the water/wastewater industry and the natural environment; use techniques and knowledge that have been developed in prior courses within the water resources curriculum to manage water resources from a watershed perspective. Public relations and leadership skills will be emphasized in relation to achieving stakeholder consensus for basin- wide watershed management plans/projects. This course includes a focus on Comprehensive Local Water Management Plans based on local priorities which link many land-use decisions with local goals for surface and groundwater protection and management.
