Distinguished Panel on Water Resources

Wednesday, April 23, 2008 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Scott Leibowitz, a research ecologist with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, will discuss how the federal government views water, in light of recent Supreme Court cases. He will contrast this with a physical perspective of hydrologic systems. Aaron Wolf, a professor in OSU's Geosciences Department, will consider the political aspects of water, especially as it relates to conflict and opportunities for peace in the Middle East. Benjamin Barnett, rabbi of Congregation Beit Am, will discuss water as a spiritual metaphor in Jewish thought and mysticism.
