Many people look at Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering and see separate disciplines. At Stanford, we see links and interdependencies through which some of the most difficult and urgent problems facing mankind may be solved.
The Civil and Environmental Engineering department is committed to finding solutions to our major sustainability challenges this century, and to educating and training the leaders who will have a large impact on our profession and on society.

Customer Reviews
Where the water flows
Very good lecture, the material was insightful. This is a very good introduction to Civil engineering Students as to the complexity of issues dealing with water.
It would be good to have a web location for additional references and data tables to study.
I would also like to have some others who could provide insight into this issue of global water supply.
These are the types of lectures we need to have during freshman year in order to locate students who identify their self as interested in this issue. Then we need to fund the student and provide them with environments where they can freely study this and related issues.
