That may not be the right word, and surely the ASU people are doing a lot of helpful, cutting-edge thinking and action.  But one might think that there should be more than two courses dealing exclusively with water conservation issues:

Ditto with the Las Vegas thread.  What these people have to say about solar and wind power, etc., is excellent.  But they lose some credibility, if they do not directly address water use, and continuing immigration to their region from within the US, as their principal concerns.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

"But they lose some credibility, if they do not directly address water use, and continuing immigration to their region from within the US, as their principal concerns."

I used to live in Southern Arizona and water is definitely an issue. The entire region needs a massive desalinization program to get access to adequate water.
