Natural Resources: Water Resources

Geography graduates have much to contribute to the analysis of water-related issues and the management of water resources. Our majors with interests in water have found jobs in watershed planning, habitat conservation management and wastewater treatment. See a list of job titles and employers for our graduates here. There is more information about geography careers available from the AAG here. Open the link and look under "Physical Geography" and "Environmental Geography" for ideas.
