A two-part guest lecture prepared for delivery in a graduate course taught by Dr. Saman Razavi.
In this part of the lecture, we are going to find out why we need to manage our water resources, what is the connection between the history of water management and human civilization, and what are the potential consequences of water management strategies on the water system.
