Posted February 23, 2006; 10:45 p.m.
A lecture titled "In Search of a National Water Policy: Learning
From Katrina, Dry Canals and Pallid Sturgeon" is set for 8 p.m.
Wednesday, March 1, in McCosh 50.
Gerald Galloway, professor of civil and environmental engineering at
the University of Maryland, will examine the issues surrounding water
resource management, specifically as they relate to disasters such as
Hurricane Katrina, conflicts over water use in major river basins and
the decline of species such as the Pacific salmon.
Galloway, a former Army Corps brigadier general and former dean at the
U.S. Military Academy at West Point, has testified before several
congressional committees and has been quoted frequently since Katrina
on the rebuilding of New Orleans and the need for a national flood plan.
The event, designated as a Louis Clark Vanuxem Lecture, is sponsored by University Public Lecture Series.
