Water policy broadly comprises the structures, processes, rules, and institutions that we use to manage water resources. This course provides an overview of water policies at global, national, statewide, and local scales, across public and private sectors. The course looks back into history at how and why these policies were developed, and forward into the future at how they can be improved to meet 21st century realities, particularly climate change.

ITAL119A . Snyder C L 10 Years Ago

I love Prof Snyder. He is by far one of the most caring professors I've ever had at my four years at UCSB.

ITAL114X . Snyder C L 10 Years Ago

Teaches very well and is very helpful. He tells you his analysis of the text in class, which is pretty much all you need to know. However, your writing has to be clear and detailed, as he looks for many specific things. He is a kind person who is very willing to help you in office hours.

ITAL124 . Snyder C L 10 Years Ago

I love Professore Snyder! He is a fantastic teacher and both classes I have had with him have been very interesting and I learned a lot. Neither class was excessively easy, but that was to be expected from an upper division Italian class. Plus he is super helpful and seems like he genuinely likes us!

ITAL114X . Snyder C L 10 Years Ago

Prof. Snyder was one of the top professors I had. I love all things Italian and especially loved his class on Dante's Inferno. I took his Comp Lit 114X class (Children's Lit) during a summer session as well. I like how he lectures. He is always willing to help and even wrote my letter of recommendation to complete my Italian Studies major. Thanks!
