The arrival of a new year has caused me to look back over the past 20 years of my teaching, writing, and speaking on Arizona’s water challenges. Luckily, there is a record of my reflections on these challenges that reveals repeated important themes. For my Spring Semester graduate course, Water Policy in Arizona and Semi-arid Regions, I ask the students first to read: (1) the Compendium of 75 columns that I contributed to the WRRC’s Arizona Water Resource newsletter from the time I joined the WRRC in early 2002 to late 2018 when the newsletter was discontinued; and (2) my Reflections essays, the successors to my newsletter columns, 38 of which have been published through the WRRC’s Weekly Wave.
