Abel, Troy D.

Description

In May of 2014, all 39 counties in Washington State were declared to be in a state of drought. This has thrust the topic of reclaimed water to the forefront of our state's water vision, however traditional policy frameworks hinder the opportunity to realize a bright reclaimed future. The complex water resource problems of tomorrow can only be solved by a policy framework that can champion policy arenas which are more polycentralized and in turn, solve the complex problems that arouse during the lifespan of traditional policy frameworks.

Reclaimed Water Policy in Washington State: Unitary and Polycentric Opportunities and Challenges
