In the 2017 fall term, the Department of Economics offered graduate and undergraduate students a new elective course on
Water Resource Economics. The course was developed and taught by Economics professor and executive director of the Water Institute,
Roy Brouwer. Professor Brouwer designed the course using real world examples and hands-on learning experiences that included a visit to a wastewater treatment plant in Kitchener. Read more about the course on the
Water Institute's website.
