Luna Leopold
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luna Bergere Leopold (born October 8, 1915 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, died February 23, 2006 in Berkeley, California) was a leading US geomorphologist, and son of Aldo Leopold.
A famous US hydrologist, he suggested that a new philosophy of water management is needed, one based on geologic, geographic, and climatic factors as well as traditional economic, social, and political factors. He argued that the management of water resources cannot be successful as long as it is naïvely perceived from an economic and political standpoint, as it is in the status quo.
