  • Water Resource Systems, Fall 2006 Page

    Survey of optimization methods for management of water resources. Linear, integer, nonlinear, and dynamic programming illustrated with case studies. Applications include reservoir and irrigation development, conjunctive use of surface and groundwater, capacity expansion, and sustainable resource development. This subject is concerned with quantitative methods for analyzing large-scale water resource problems. Topics covered include the design and management of facilities for river basin development, flood control, water supply, groundwater remediation, and other activities related to water resources. Simulation models and optimization methods are often used to support analyses of water resource problems. In this subject we will be constructing simulation models with the MATLAB® programming language and solving numerical optimization problems with the GAMS optimization package.

  Definitions

  There are many definitions of sustainable development, including this landmark one which first appeared in 1987:

  "Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

  — from the World Commission on Environment and Development’s
  (the Brundtland Commission) report Our Common Future 
  (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1987).

  • Environmental Justice, Fall 2004 Page

    Examines theories and practice of environmental justice, concerns about race, poverty, and the environment in both domestic and international contexts, exploring and critically analyzing philosophies, frameworks, and strategies underlying environmental justice movements. Examines case studies of environmental injustices, including: distribution of environmental quality and health, unequal enforcement of regulations, unequal access to resources to respond to environmental problems, and the broader political economy of decision-making around environmental issues. Explores how environmental justice movements relate to broader sustainable development goals and strategies. This class explores the foundations of the environmental justice movement, current and emerging issues, and the application of environmental justice analysis to environmental policy and planning. It examines claims made by diverse groups along with the policy and civil society responses that address perceived inequity and injustice. While focused mainly on the United States, international issues and perspectives are also considered.

  Elements

  The Sustainable Development Plan has established nine topic areas of interest (i.e., Elements) derived from the direction provided by the public, the results of the scenario model, and recognized best practices relating to land use development. Each Element was explored in detail to help inform a range of stakeholders and potential users on the relationship between these topic areas and our community vision and planning goals.
