Welcome to the Water Scholars Book Club

At the Iowa Water Center we are focused on disseminating information about Iowa’s water resources with members of the Iowa water community spanning teachers, students, professionals, the general public, and more. One of the more accessible ways to receive information on water resources is through popular print non-fiction books that often top the charts of bestseller lists for science and the environment.

Through Water Scholars, we are hosting a book club that focuses on one book per month for about a six-month series per year. Each month we will explore one book, have a conversation via recorded webinar with a local expert related to that topic, and have a webinar discussion with our community regarding these topics. We will also have a written blog post to discuss the book, pose some questions for your consideration, and assemble resources if you want to further engage with the topic of the book.

Is there required reading? No way.

You are welcome to read the book along with us, but if not, then that is okay, too. We are hoping that this will be a resource that serves you as you have time to engage with these topics.
