As noted in the first course in this series, water-related issues resulting from growing and concentrating populations, shifting weather patterns, increasing frequency and ferocity of storm events, disappearing water supplies, and rising costs have become more and more important in community planning. This second part of the course details many of the emerging resilient and environmentally responsible management strategies that communities worldwide are adopting in response to those issues. The descriptions are accompanied by a number of case studies of resilient water plans and projects.
