Happy Hour Lecture with Dr. Gerald Kauffman of the University of Delaware

The Delaware River Watershed Initiative at the Academy of Natural Sciences will hold its monthly happy hour seminar series on September 9th. We are proud to announce “Delaware River, Inc.”

What if the Delaware River was managed as a firm or a business? Dr. Gerald Kauffman of the University of Delaware will discuss the economic benefits and costs of clean water in the Delaware River Basin, a watershed that provides drinking water to five percent of the nation's population and the first and seventh largest metropolitan economies in the United States.

The talk will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the back reserved room at Cherry Street Tavern, 22nd and Cherry streets, Philadelphia.

Dr. Kauffman is Director of the University of Delaware Water Resources Agency, a program of the Institute for Public Administration. Professor Kauffman teaches graduate and undergraduate courses at UDel on topics including engineering and hydrology. Jerry has co-authored a book on water resources engineering with a colleague from the University of Wyoming and is presently writing a book about sustainable watershed management.

Dr. Kauffman provides water science and policy assistance to governments in Delaware and the Delaware Valley through the land-grant public service, education, and research role of the University of Delaware.
