The End of Abundant Water, Monday, July 11th, 12pm, free Brownbag lunch @Hub SoMa

Explore with us California's water issues and beyond.

Join us for a talk on California's big water issues with David Zetland at the Hub.

David Zetland is a senior water economist in the Department of Environmental Economics and Natural Resources at Wageningen University in the Netherlands where he is working on an EU-funded project, "Evaluating Economic Policy Instruments for Sustainable Water Management in Europe." David received his PhD in Agricultural and Resource Economics from UC Davis in 2008. He was a S.v. Ciriacy-Wantrup Postdoctoral Fellow in Natural Resource Economics and Political Economy at UC Berkeley from 2008 to 2010. He blogs on water, economics and politics at aguanomics.com and is the author of The End of Abundance: economic solutions to water scarcity (2011).

In this book, David Zetland describes the impact of scarcity on our many water uses, how the institutions of abundance fail in scarcity, and how economic ideas and tools can help us direct water to its highest and best use. Written for non-academic readers, The End of Abundance provides examples, insights and ideas to anyone interested in the management of our most precious resource.

Please join us on Monday, July 11th, Noon - 12pm, at Hub SoMa, for a talk by: David Zetland to hear his thoughts on what comes next on California's Water issues and how we can get there.
