Dr. Megdal bridges the academic, practitioner, and civil society communities through water policy and management research, education, and engagement programs. The geographical scope of Dr. Megdal’s work ranges from local to international. Applied research projects include analysis of water management, policy, and governance in water-scarce regions, groundwater recharge, and transboundary aquifer assessment.
Pima County is larger than all of Israel, but Israel has 10 times the population!
Hope to see you there.
