Professor Mairal will discuss how Spanish water policy developed in the 20th century following a model known as "Política Hidráulica," promoted in Spain at the end of 19th Century by Joaquín Costa, a jurist and politician. He will link the current water debates in Spain with the historical record, and compare Spanish policy with the water policy of the American West as influenced by John Wesley Powell.
