Sustainable Development of Water Resources

Warren Flint served as a member and advisor of a task force convened to examine the criteria that define sustainable water resources for the United States. The task forced worked in the capacity of an on-going roundtable comprised of governmental officials, industry representatives, non-profit organizations, academicians, and consultants that met regularly to synthesize and integrate data relative to the sustainability of surface and groundwater resources. Dr. Flint's role in the task force work focused primarily on the development of criteria and indicators that could be used to measure the sustainability of water resources on a national basis. From this work he published a journal article entitled “The Sustainable Development of Water Resources.” This article is available on-line through the Water Resources Update, February 2004.
