Rivers of Resilience: UW Grad Student Takes Deep Dive Into Relationship With Rivers and Lakes

Understanding how Wyomingites think about and relate to water is the topic of Pallavi Pokharel’s master’s thesis. For this, she interviewed 43 farmers/ranchers and recreationists in the Snake River and Green River basins. Her research is one component of UW’s WyACT: Wyoming Anticipating Climate Transitions project, a five-year program funded by the National Science Foundation, and she is one of the first graduates to come out of the project.
