Students will perform a detailed study of the economic benefits that the region gains from its water resources. The study will analyze waterdependent businesses, tourism activities, and special events. Analysis will examine exported economic sectors; impacts on hotels, restaurants, airports, and other hospitality industries; increased tax revenues for local governments; and other impacts. This project will be undertaken alongside the Water Quality Improvement Plan course in Landscape Architecture.
