Abstract
The future role of the social sciences in the specialist education of graduates who will work in the field of water resources is examined. The current comparatively small participation of university social science departments in such training is reviewed briefly, and proposed methods of interdisciplinary involvement are suggested, such as water resources topics for theses within the social sciences, service courses in a social science discipline for engineering and natural sciences students, and social science participation in water‐resource‐oriented seminars. Specific suggestions are advanced for participation of the social sciences in a water resources study program involving the long‐term interdisciplinary collaboration of social scientists with natural scientists and engineers in an integrated series of graduate courses and research seminars dealing with water resources problems, issues, and policies. A partial list of relevant areas and courses within the social sciences is proposed for discussion.
