Workshop: The Water Environment of Cities

贝克，劳伦斯A.，明尼苏达大学双城分校0739952研讨会：城市的水环境。李，项目主任，（703）292- 5356研讨会，这将推动一个整体的，跨学科的方法来管理城市水环境，承认水作为一个核心的组织概念，城市设计，将汇集专家在地表水和地下水水文，土木和环境工程，环境政策，城市规划，法律，地貌学和娱乐管理。该讲习班将于2007年底举行。一些参与者目前正在参与编写一本教科书《城市的水环境》，其对象是涉及水资源管理、规划和可持续性的学科的研究生。作者和受访者，包括从业人员，将讨论以下关键主题（1）水资源短缺，（2）水的多种用途，（3）水管理机构，（4）新知识的形成，（5）可持续性，（6）恢复力。成果包括一个综合章节的文本，一份关于研讨会的报告，和一份期刊文章，将提出一个议程，可持续水资源的未来研究。讲习班的更广泛影响包括由此产生的毕业论文，该论文将为世界上不断增长的城市人口对可持续水资源的需求带来一种综合办法。

Baker, Lawrence A., PIUniversity of Minnesota-Twin Cities0739952Workshop: The Water Environment of CitiesCindy M. Lee, Program Director, (703) 292-5356The workshop, which will advance a holistic, interdisciplinary approach for managing the urban water environment that recognizes water as a core organizing concept for urban design, will bring together experts in surface and groundwater hydrology, civil and environmental engineering, environmental policy, urban planning, law, geomorphology, and recreation management. The workshop will be held in late 2007. Several of the participants are currently involved in writing a text book, The Water Environment of Cities, aimed at graduate students in disciplines involved with water resources management, planning, and sustainability. The authors and respondents, which include practitioners, will address the following key themes (1) water scarcity, (2) multiple uses of water, (3) water management institutions, (4) formation on new knowledge, (5) sustainability, and (6) resilience. Outcomes include a synthesis chapter for the text, a report on the workshop, and a journal article that will propose an agenda for future research in sustainable water resources. The broader impacts of the workshop include the resulting graduate text that will bring a holistic approach to the need for sustainable water resources for the world's growing urban populations.
