Professor Gabriel Eckstein led a trip to Guanajuato, Mexico, over Spring Break 2017 for the field trip course, Contemporary Issues in Water Resources: U.S. Mexico Water-Energy-Food Nexus.
The course, which included students from Texas A&M Law, other Texas A&M graduate units, and students from the University of Guanajuato, provided a comparative analysis of how water, energy, and agricultural management and regulations intersect in Texas and Mexico.
In addition to class lectures and guest speakers, students and faculty visited various private and public operations in the Guanajuato region to explore how these nexus factors interact.
