Welcome to The Spout!

We are pleased to announce the start of our new water blog, The Spout! The authors are from various UBC academic departments including the School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability and Civil Engineering. The idea for this blog grew out of an interest in continuing a dialogue after the completion of graduate course on water resources called Planning For Water Resources Management, taught by Professor Tony Dorcey. This blog will feature a number of diverse topics pertaining to water management and planning offering perspectives on water issues from the developing and developed world.
