EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThis is the first external review of the Water Management andHydrological Science (WMHS) program, and this document wasprepared specifically for this purpose.Texas A&M University established in 2005 the interdisciplinaryWMHS graduate degree program. Interdisciplinary faculty actingthrough an executive committee and program chair guide theprogram. The WMHS program currently comprises 57 faculty in12 departments in the Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences,Architecture, Engineering and Geosciences. Faculty whoparticipate do double duty. Not only do they supervise and fundstudents in their respective departments, but they also superviseand fund students in the WMHS program.The WMHS program is structured to provide interdisciplinarybreadth and disciplinary depth. Courses offered through theprogram provide students with an understanding of biophysicaland social sciences, engineering, economics, finance andcommunication principles. The program offers three degrees: aMaster of Water Management, a Master of Science and a Ph.D.The Master of Water Management is a non-thesis degreeintended to provide professional graduate educationemphasizing problem solving and technical skills for studentswho will manage public water systems and water resources. TheMaster of Science is a research-based thesis degree designed forstudents with technical backgrounds to complement theirprimary discipline by obtaining scientific, technical, ormanagerial expertise in water. The Ph.D. is a dissertation-basedresearch degree designed to give students a comprehensiveknowledge of water science and hydrology and provide trainingWater Management and Hydrological Science 1

in methods of research. It is designed to prepare students foracademic or research careers.Enrolment in the program continues to grow. Due to fundinglimitations, the program admits about 15 students a year. Overall,about 80% of the students have pursued the master’s degree andabout 20% the doctorate. Most students are of domestic originwith nearly two-thirds from Texas. The master’s students arepredominately U.S. citizens while the doctoral program reflectsnearly an equal balance between domestic and internationalstudents. The international students that have enrolled in theprogram are truly diverse, hailing from 15 countries.The mission of the WMHS program is to educate the nextgeneration of water managers and scientists. To date theprogram has succeeded. Of the 54 students who have graduatedfrom the program, all but four are employed within the waterindustry. The master’s degree graduates are working inmanagerial, technical, educational, or science positions. Doctoraldegree graduates are working in academic or research positions.Faculty who participate in the water program have exceptionalpublication and external funding records. Collectively, WMHSfaculty members have generated approximately $125.4 million inexternal funding from competitive funding programs since 2005.The funds have supported robust research programs primarily intheir respective departments, but they have also contributedgreatly to WMHS graduate-student support.Although the program has been successful in preparing studentsfor careers in the water industry, areas can always be improved.Funding from the Office of Graduate Studies has continued toincrease, thus supporting more students. As financial resourcesfrom other areas become more limited, however, manydepartments will strongly encourage their faculty to offerresearch assistantships only to their students. There does notappear to be an easy solution to this issue, and the ultimateimpact on the WMHS program remains uncertain. Another areaof concern is the lack of office space for WMHS students. Thisproblem has arisen because of increasing enrollment in the2 Water Management and Hydrological Science

program. Students in theWMHS program do nothave the physical spacefor studying and researchavailable to graduatestudents in departments,thus affecting theprogram’s recruitingefforts.Despite the financiallimitations that all publicuniversities face theWMHS program,through aggressiverecruiting, highervisibility both on campusand off, and creativeprogram offerings,should continue to growand thrive. Issues to faceare increasing visibility,private fundraising, andproducing successfulgraduates to ensure that a degree in such a critical resource willbecome more sought after in succeeding years.Water Management and Hydrological Science 3

To date, the university has awarded morethan 380,000 degrees. It is one of a select few academic institutions in thenation to hold triple federal designations as a Land-Grant, Sea-Grant andSpace-Grant University. It offers more than 120 undergraduate degreeprograms and 240 master’s and Ph.D degree programs.Water Management and Hydrological Science 7

Texas A&M University operates two branch campuses that award “TexasA&M University” degrees in Galveston and Qatar. The university alsooperates centers in Mexico, Costa Rica and Italy to facilitate education,research, and outreach.The annual research portfolio at the University is estimated to be in excessof $528 million, placing it among the top 20 universities nationwide. Morethan 80% of the 2,800 faculty members hold doctoral degrees. The facultyincludes Nobel Prize, National Medal of Science, and Wolf Prize recipients.There are over two dozen faculty members who are members of theNational Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering or theInstitute of Medicine.There are more than 50,000 Aggies currently enrolled on the main campusin College Station of which more than 9,000 are graduate students. TexasA&M University is the country’s sixth largest university in terms of studentenrollment. It ranks among the top U.S. universities in attractinginternational students with more than 4,500 students from 120 countries. Itconsistently ranks among the country’s top 20 universities in terms ofenrollment of National Merit Scholars.These are the 10 academic colleges at Texas A&M University:• College of Agriculture and Life Sciences• College of Architecture• Bush School of Government and Public Service• College of Education and Human Development• College of Geosciences• College of Liberal Arts• College of Science• College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences• Dwight Look College of Engineering• Mays Business School2.2 Graduate Interdisciplinary Degree ProgramsAt Texas A&M University, graduate degrees are awarded by traditionaldiscipline-based academic departments, as well as by graduateinterdisciplinary faculties. Graduate interdisciplinary faculties are relativelynew to Texas A&M University with the earliest such faculty being officiallyrecognized only in 1989. The formation of interdisciplinary faculties isprimarily a faculty-driven process, created when faculty members andresearchers from diverse academic departments who have overlappingprogrammatic interests come together to capitalize on their collectivestrengths.According to the University rules, an Interdisciplinary Degree Program(IDP) involves a group of faculty from more than one disciplinerepresenting single or multiple colleges, organized and administered for thepurpose of enhancing research and scholarly activities and overseeing8 Water Management and Hydrological Science

graduate education for a degreeprogram not offered in any existingacademic unit.Approval of interdisciplinarydegrees themselves is grantedthrough the Texas HigherEducation Coordinating Board.Oversight of IDPs falls under theresponsibility of the Council ofParticipating Deans, which consistsof the deans of the colleges havingfaculty participating in the IDP,together with the Dean of Facultiesand Associate Provost and Provostfor Graduate Studies. Facultyparticipation in an IDP may beincorporated into promotion,tenure, and merit raise decisionsbased upon recommendations ofthe IDP. In addition, graduatedegrees granted by IDPs are alsosubject to external review as part ofthe University’s commitment toacademic excellence.Currently, there are 11 Interdisciplinary Degree Programs at the universitylevel that are approved to offer graduate degrees by the Texas HigherEducation Coordinating Board. These are as follows:Interdisciplinary Degree Programs Masters DoctorateAgribusinessMABBiotechnologyMBIOTEngineering Systems ManagementMS (Online)Food Science and Technology MS Ph.D.Genetics MS Ph.D.Materials Science and Engineering MS, ME Ph.D.Molecular and Environmental Plant Sciences MS Ph.D.Neuroscience MS Ph.D.Nutrition MS Ph.D.Toxicology MS Ph.D.Water Management and Hydrological Science MS, MWM Ph.D.Water Management and Hydrological Science 9

3. WMHS PROGRAM STRUCTURE3.1 Program HistoryIn 2002 faculty in the Colleges of Agriculture, Engineering, and Geosciencesformed an ad hoc committee with the goal of establishing a new waterdegree program. From the onset, the committee was committed todeveloping a multidisciplinary degree. In 2003, the committee prepared thedocumentation necessary to offer three graduate degrees: a Ph.D., a Masterof Science (thesis option), and a Master of Water Management (non-thesisoption). Approval by the Faculty Senate, the Provost, President, Chancellorand Board of Regents was granted in 2004. In March of 2005, the TexasHigher Education Coordinating Board gave it final approval and inSeptember 2005 the first students were admitted to the program.3.2 University Administration of WMHS ProgramInterdisciplinary graduate programs, unlike conventional department-basedprograms, are a hybrid and rely on academic departments for administrativesupport staff, accounting, office space, and computer facilities. The level ofsupport varies depending on the program and the department providingsupport. The current University administrative structure for managing IDPs,including the WMHS Program, requires that each IDP have a home deanwho then reports to the Provost (Figure 3.2.). IDPs also report to the Deanof Faculties and Associate Provost for major policy issues.The WMHS Program is assigned to the College of Geosciences whose deanhas overall responsibility of the program. Since its inception the WMHSFigure 3.2. Administrative Structure for Interdisciplinary Degree Programs10 Water Management and Hydrological Science

program has been “housed” in theDepartment of Geography. The“home” department provides officespace, part-time administrativesupport, and accounting functions.3.3 Administrative Structure of theWMHS ProgramThe Water Management andHydrological Science (WMHS)Program is a partnership betweenthe Colleges of Agriculture and LifeSciences, Architecture, Engineeringand Geoscience. The WMHS Facultycurrently includes 57 membersrepresenting four colleges and 12academic departments. The faculty isultimately responsible for theprogram.Briefly, the WMHS faculty, throughthe Executive Committee, ProgramChair, and Program Coordinator administers the program. Governance isby a five-member Executive Committee. The Executive Committee consistsof four elected members, one each from the four academic colleges plusone at-large representative. The chair of the Executive Committee serves asthe chair of the WMHS program.The Executive Committee and chair, coordinate the graduate program,review and accept applicants for admission, perform periodic curriculaassessments, approve new courses for submission to the appropriateUniversity Committees, make scholarship assignments and ensure arigorous course of study for M.S. and Ph.D. candidates. Additionalresponsibilities include assessment of the learning objectives to improvecurriculum and instruction, strengthen research and improve the overalleffectiveness of graduate training.Executive Committee members are to serve for three years. However, inorder to provide continuity through the formative years the currentExecutive Committee and Program Chair have remained in place.Participating Colleges and DepartmentsCollege of Agriculture and Life Sciences• Agricultural Economics• Biological and Agricultural Engineering• Ecosystem Science and Management• Recreation, Park, and Tourism Sciences• Soil and Crop SciencesWater Management and Hydrological Science 11

3.3.2 Program CoordinatorDr. Valeen Silvy washired in 2005 as theprogram coordinatorand served in thiscapacity until her deathin 2011. Dr. RosarioSanchez was hired in2012 as programcoordinator. She servesand assists the WMHSchair and the ExecutiveCommittee members.She manages day-to-dayactivities of theprogram, including,but not limited toadvising graduatestudents, responding toinquiries, respondingto emails from facultyand other Texas A&Mpersonnel, draftingmemos, letters, andother correspondence, and arranging seminars. She is also responsible forcompiling and disseminating graduate applications for review by the faculty,correspondence with applicants, handling general graduate programinquiries, and compiling data for required reports.3.4 Budget Allocations and Program ExpendituresFunding for the WMHS program is provided by the Provost through theOffice of Graduate Studies, by the College of Geosciences and by theDepartment of Geography. Funding for the last three years and the currentyear is presented in Table 3.4. Funds are used primarily for the ProgramCoordinator position and to support graduate students. In FYs 2010 and2011, Dr. Valeen Silvy was the half-time program coordinator. After herdeath, the position was converted to a full-time position with the College ofGeosciences contributing $16,000 for salary support.Graduate student support includes research assistantships, scholarships,tuition, and fee payments. Increasing the number of research assistantshiphas been achieved by offering to pay one half of the assistant’s cost with aparticipating faculty who will pay the other one-half cost. In addition anumber of graduate students are supported by faculty through theirresearch budgets, or through university fellowships, and this support is notincluded in the table.Water Management and Hydrological Science 13

Most of our Master of Science students receive some degree of fundingsupport either through scholarship, payment of fees, or researchassistantships. Our doctoral students are primarily supported from researchfunds provided by the chair of their advisory committee. All of our doctoralstudents receive support.Table 3.4.

5. WMHS STUDENTS5.1 Program Enrollment TrendsSince its 2005 inception total annual enrollment in the program continuesto grow (Figure 5.1.). One hundred and twenty-four students have enrolledin the program. Although enrollment varies from year to year (See Table5.1) an average 15 students join the program each year. Application-toacceptanceratios average about 3 to 1, and more than two-thirds of thestudents who are accepted enroll. Many of our applicants apply to morethan one school, and those who are accepted but don’t enroll usually do sobased on a better financial aid package from another school.Figure 5.1 Total annual enrollmentTable 5.1 Number of students entering program by academic year2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012MS 7 3 6 7 7 12 8MWM 3 3 2 10 4 7 7 4Ph.D. 3 8 4 7 3 7 2Total 13 11 5 20 18 17 26 14Grand total 124Overall student retention has not been a major issue. Of course, we wouldlike to have a 100 percent retention rate, but that is difficult. Of the 90master’s degree students only eight have not completed the program. Mostleft for personal, financial, or career change reasons. Four of the 34 doctoralstudents who enrolled in the program left for similar reasons.Water Management and Hydrological Science 23

5.2 Student DemographicsMaster’s degree students comprise nearly three-quarters of total enrollmentwith about an equal number selecting either a thesis or non-thesis mastersoption. This balance between master’s and doctoral students reflects thereality of the job market in the water industry and academia.Figure 5.2 Enrollment by degrees soughtFrom a gender perspective about 60 percent of the students are male and 40percent female. This ratio is fairly consistent in the master’s and doctoraldegree programs and in the years of admission (see Figure 5.2.1 and Table5.2.Figure 5.2.1.

However, over the last twoyears, as part of the student learning objectives listed in Section 7.3 on page44, we have identified publication and presentation objectives for our26 Water Management and Hydrological Science

master’s and doctoral students. The master of water management degreehas a learning objective that at least 50% of the graduates will have made apresentation or presented a poster at a professional or academic meeting.Over the last two years this objective has been achieved. The master ofscience objective is that at least 50% of the graduates will have prepared orsubmitted a research article by the time they graduate. Over the last twoyears this objective has also been achieved. Ph.D. students are expected tosubmit or publish one refereed article by the time they graduate. Onedoctoral student has graduated from the program over the last two yearsand she published 5 journal articles.5.4 Program GraduatesOur mission is to “prepare the next generation of water scientists, hydrologists, andmanagers through teaching and research that improves the reliability and quality ofwater resources for human well-being and development.” A metric of our success inmeeting this mission is how many students we place in the water industry.We are clearly achieving our mission as 50 of 54 graduates (as shown inTable 5.4.1, 5.4.2, 5.4.3) are working in some sector of the water industry.On average Master of Water Management students graduate in 2 years,Master of Science in 2.5 years and doctoral students graduate in 5 years. Theprogram has accepted 2 Fulbright scholarship students and they have taken7 years to finish their degrees. As indicated in Table 5.4 the number ofstudents graduating each year is increasing as our enrollment increases.Over the last four years an average of 10 master’s level students havegraduated each year. The program averages one doctoral graduate per year.Table 5.4 WMHS graduates per year2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012* TotalMWM 0 3 2 7 7 6 2 27MS 1 3 1 2 2 5 6 20Ph.D. 1 1 1 1 2 0 1 7Total 2 7 4 10 11 11 9 54* Only includes graduates through August 31, 2012Our Master of Science students are working in research or managerialpositions at water agencies or have continued their academic education.The Master of Water Management students are generally found inmanagement and consulting positions at public agencies of the state ofTexas and consulting companies. Our doctoral students are concentrated inthe academic and research sectors in the United States. This fact offers asolid foundation of the water program degree options considering the jobmarket demand of water managers and water experts as well as updatedresearch and consulting profiles.Water Management and Hydrological Science 27

6. WMHS FACULTYCurrently, 57 faculty from 12 departments in four colleges are in the WMHSprogram. For a short biography on current members see Appendix A.Faculty roles and participation in the program vary. Some faculty areinvolved in chairing or serving on graduate student committees, whileothers teach a designated water course and chair a student committee. A fewfaculty have moved to administrative positions but wish to remain on thefaculty to serve as advisors.6.1 Faculty Teaching in WMHS ProgramA significant percentage of faculty have been involved in teaching in thewater program. Fifteen faculty from the Colleges of Agriculture and LifeSciences, Engineering and Geosciences have been involved in teaching, orteam teaching, in the two required WMHS courses. Forty-six faculty, orformer faculty, have been involved in teaching one or more of thedesignated water courses.32 Water Management and Hydrological Science

6.2 Faculty AdvisingUniversity rules and those of the Water Program govern the formation ofstudent advisory committees and degree plans. Students in the master’sdegree program must select a graduate chair, form an advisory committee,and file their degree plan by the end of the second semester. Prior toforming their committee, the program chair or program coordinatorprovide all advising. A master’s degree advisory committee consists of nofewer than three members, two of which must be members of the WMHSfaculty. The committee chair must be a member of the water faculty.Since 2010, the program chair serves as the advisory committee chair for allMaster of Water Management students. This practice improved advisingefficiency.Doctoral students must have identified a chair from the WMHS faculty whohas agreed to serve in that capacity before they can be admitted to theprogram. However, students have until the end of their third semester tofinalize their advisory committee and file their degree plan. Advisorycommittees for the doctoral degree will consist of no fewer than fourmembers, three of whom must be members of the WMHS faculty.At least 24 different members of the WMHS faculty have chaired studentcommittees and nearly all members of the faculty have served on a studentcommittee. Table 6.2 is a list of current students and their committee chairs.The list does not include master’s students admitted in the spring or fall of2012 because they are not required to select a chair until the end of theirsecond semester.Table 6.2 Current chairs of WMHS students with degree plansFall 2012 Degree ChairCurrent StudentsAdams Silas MWM Ronald KaiserAurora Bhvana Ph.D. Binayak MohantyBaber Thomas Ph.D. Ralph WurbsBowling Jeremiah M R.

The remaining 17 either do not teach a water courseor because of their current appointment do not teach. Currently 56 studentsare enrolled in the program, hence the faculty to student ratio is nearly 1to 1.6.4 Research Funding for WMHS Program FacultyFaculty who participate in the water program have exceptional records notonly in their publication records but also in receiving water-related externalgrants. Grants support students in their respective departments as well asstudents in the WMHS. Collectively, WMHS faculty members havegenerated approximately $125.4 million in external funding fromcompetitive funding programs since 2005. The funds have supported robustresearch programs that helped steer the intellectual and scientific directionof the graduate program in addition to providing both financial supportand research opportunities for students. The funding record reflects thecommitment of Texas A&M University, as a Tier 1 Research Institution, tomaintain highly productive research programs that help attract the world’sbest faculty and graduate students.Figure 6.4 below shows the breakdown of funding by general researchcategory. As might be expected, there is considerable overlap within thesecategories owing to the interdisciplinary nature of hydrologic research ingeneral, and to the multiple disciplines represented by the Water Programfaculty in particular. Figure 6.4 is intended to provide a qualitative view of34 Water Management and Hydrological Science

the faculty research emphasis areas. Many studies, for example, were carriedout in coastal or wetland regions but were counted in other categoriesbecause their primary focus was not on coastal or wetland processes.Similarly, there were international dimensions of a significant number ofresearch projects and a number of projects were funded by internationalsources, but relatively few studies were focused entirely on internationallocales. Also, while nearly every research project was related in some way togeneral water resources planning and management, we have tried to breakthem into more distinct categories for the purposes of clarification.Figure 6.4 Water faculty external funding in millions of dollars (2005-2012)454035302520151050Contaminants: Approximately $38.8 million in external funds have beensecured for hydrologic studies that focus primarily on the origin, transport,and fate of contaminants in aquatic environments, including surface water,groundwater, soil water, and water vapor within the vegetative canopy zone.This included research focused on, for example: desalination, waterrecycling and reuse, development of drinking water treatment systems,biodegradation of contaminants, water quality restoration, microbialcontaminants, site-specific monitoring and assessment, non-point sourcepollution, and the impact of industrial waste products on local and regionalwater quality. Funding for these programs came from, for example, the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation, theU.S. Department of Energy, state agencies such as the Texas Commission onEnvironmental Quality, Texas Hazardous Waste Research Center, andindividual municipalities.Informatics: Approximately $35.5 million in research funding was generatedin the broad area of hydrologic informatics and geographic informationsystem applications in hydrologic research and water resources planningWater Management and Hydrological Science 35

and management. Included in this category are, for example: databaseanalysis of hurricane-related issues, support for on-line data analysis, GISbasedmodeling of hydrologic processes, mapping analysis tooldevelopment, and land-surface process studies. Funding sources include, forexample: the Department of Homeland Security, the National ScienceFoundation, the Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Agriculture,private industries, state agencies such as the Texas Water DevelopmentBoard and the Texas Department of Transportation, and individualmunicipalities.Climate: WMHS faculty secured approximately $18.1 million in funding tostudy climate and climate change processes. The climate category isparticularly broad and includes fundamental climate modeling,atmospheric process research, satellite precipitation monitoring, droughtprediction and response, flooding and adaptive flood management, climateuncertainty and urban and agricultural water resources planning, impacts ofclimate change on water availability, mitigation and adaptation to climatechange, and extreme climate and hydrologic events. The funding has comefrom the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The high levelof funding in this category reflects the relative importance of climate andclimate change to water planning in the State of Texas.Agriculture: The importance of agricultural water management in Texascannot be overstated, and the funded research totaled approximately $9.3million. The category includes research on, for example: irrigationefficiency, plant water use, plant and soil interactions, aquaculture, watersustainability in agriculture, the economic and societal dimensions ofagricultural water planning and management, agricultural waterconservation, and hydrologic implications of agricultural production forbiofuels biomass. The principal funding agency, as might be expected, is theU.S. Department of Agriculture. Other sources of research funding include,for example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, private industry,international organizations, the Department of Defense, and the TexasState Soil and Water Conservation Board.Modeling: The modeling category includes basic research on fundamentalhydrologic processes, hydrologic model development for basins of interest,water and carbon cycle studies, global hydrologic processes,hydrogeochemical processes, watershed hydrology, surface andgroundwater processes, soil and water interactions, and plant-soil-waterinteractions. Funded research totals approximately $8.32 million. Theresearch included in this category spans a full range of scales in space andtime as well as scaling processes and multi-scale processes. Funding sourcesinclude, for example: the National Science Foundation, the U.S.Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Interior, the NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Aeronautics and36 Water Management and Hydrological Science

Space Administration, the U.S. Department of Energy, and an array of stateand local agencies, private industries, and foundations.Education: The WMHS faculty have been proactive in seeking funding toimprove water education at all grade levels from kindergarten throughpostdoctoral research. Approximately $6.1 million in funds have beensecured to support, for example, undergraduate research experiences,water education for pre-service and in-service educators in grades K through12, high-impact educational activities such as international researchexperiences, graduate research fellowships, efforts to improve the diversityof the future water resources workforce, and special fellowships forinterdisciplinary hydrologic study. Texas A&M participates in a nationwidenetwork of universities funded by the National Science Foundation toimprove teacher preparation in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM), including integrating the study of hydrologicprocesses into existing STEM curricula. In addition to the National ScienceFoundation, funding for these activities has come from the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture, the National Action Council for Minorities, privateindustries, municipalities, and private foundations.Water Management and Hydrological Science 37

Ecohydrology: Research on the interactions between water, vegetation, andnatural areas is increasingly encompassed in the emerging field ofecohydrology. Faculty in the Water Program have generated approximately$4.2 million in research funding to support groundbreaking work in, forexample, hydrology and rangeland processes, water and ecosystem services,environmental water demands, biological processes for stormwater qualityimprovement, algal blooms, and freshwater inflows to wetlands and coastalareas. The research is funded by, for example, the Texas Commission onEnvironmental Quality, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S.Department of Interior, the National Science Foundation, the U.S.Department of Energy, and the Texas Department of Transportation.Management: Water management and planning is an inherent part of nearlyevery research program included in this report. For that reason, it couldencompass most every research dollar generated by the WMHS faculty.However, studies specific to local and regional water planning andmanagement are included in this category, and total approximately $3.83million in secured funding. Examples include watershed management forthe Trinity, Sabine, and San Antonio rivers, an audit of the San AntonioWater System, water audits and marketing for the City of College Station,planning studies for the City of Bryan, the impact of water trading systemson municipal water planning, municipal water demand in Texas,development of the Water Rights Analysis Package (water availability andallocation modeling tool), and watershed protection plans for specificbasins of interest. Sources of funding include the Texas Soil and WaterConservation Board, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, TexasCommission on Environmental Quality, the National Science Foundation,the Texas Department of Agriculture, and the National Forest Service.International: Hydrologic research with a specific international focusincludes, for example, successful sanitation habits in rural India, and thepolitical ecology of sanitation habits in rural India. Funding, which totaledapproximately $789,000, came from the National Science Foundation andthe Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, among others.Coastal: Projects that were wholly focused on coastal or wetlandenvironments were funded at a level of approximately $571,000. Researchincluded, for example, the assessment and prediction of coastal erosion andmorphological changes in the Upper Texas Gulf Coast (funded by the TexasBoard of Higher Education), coastal prairie wetland restoration in SheldonLake State Park (funded by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department),coastal resiliency tools for local officials (funded by the Texas Sea GrantCollege Program), and the assessment of coastal water resources andwatershed conditions in and around the Bering Land Bridge NationalPreserve (funded by the National Park Service).38 Water Management and Hydrological Science

6.5 Faculty PublicationsCollectively, the WMHS faculty have a prolific water publication record.Over the past 5-7 years they have produced more than 700 publications,including books, book chapters and journal articles. This is not a completerecord of their career publications as faculty were requested, for purposes ofthis report, to limit their publication listing to two pages. Many faculty haveCVs that are more than 50 pages and one has a 150-page CV. Very briefWMHS faculty CVs are listed in Appendix A.6.6 Faculty DiversityParticipation as a member of the WMHS program is a voluntary action ofeach faculty member assigned to an academic home department. TheWMHS program does not make faculty hiring decisions and has no controlover the Texas A&M University faculty diversity. Thus the WMHS faculty is areflection of department hiring practices. The WMHS program supportsUniversity efforts to increase faculty diversity.A review of the WMHS faculty indicates: 13 members of international origin,11 female members and 2 members of Hispanic origin.

7. VISION, GOALS, AND ASSESSMENT7.1 Texas A&M UniversityVision 2020The Southern Association ofColleges and SchoolsCommission (SACS) and theTexas Higher EducationCoordinating Board (THECB)assess the quality of TexasA&M University as a whole. In1999, Texas A&M embarkedupon a comprehensiveevaluation and planningprogram to meet the SACSand THECB guidelines andwith the aim of securingrecognition as a consensus“Top 10” public university bythe year 2020. The programknown as “Vision 2020”(vision2020.tamu.edu) wasintended to build upon TexasA&M’s tradition of excellence,while identifying areasrequiring improvement andrecommending necessaryaction, without sacrificing the core values upon which the university issolidly founded or its proud and unique heritage.The report, Vision 2020: Creating a Culture of Excellence, sets forthindividual recommendations categorized into 12 “imperatives” relating toall aspects of Texas A&M and its relationships with students, faculty, staff,the community, and the state, nation, and world it proudly serves. In 2012,Vision 2020 was updated through a campus-wide process of internalassessment called the Academic Master Plan and a University strategic plancalled Action 2015: Education First. The document identified a number ofimperatives that the university will target over the next decade. Of relevanceto this review is the commitment to graduate education.The 12 imperatives are:1. Elevate the Faculty and their Teaching, Research, and Scholarship2. Strengthen the Graduate Programs3. Enhance the Undergraduate Academic Experience4. Build the Letters, Arts, and Sciences Core5. Build on the Tradition of Professional EducationWater Management and Hydrological Science 41

6. Diversify and Globalize the Texas A&M Community7. Increase Access to Knowledge Resources8. Enrich the Campus Environment9. Build Community and Metropolitan Connections10. Demand Enlightened Governance and Leadership11. Attain Resource Parity with the Best Public Universities12. Meet the Commitment to TexasImperative 2: Strengthen Graduate ProgramsIn any view to the future, the challenges of solving complex problems arecertain to require interdisciplinary work. It is critical that the Universityfoster an adaptive culture that embraces and encourages interdisciplinaryresearch while continuing to embrace and encourage individual research.We should encourage and foster individual faculty, teams of scholars andpracticing professionals from multiple disciplines to cross structuralboundaries and create strategic and operational partnerships. Our priorityshould be to advance the frontiers of knowledge in meeting increasinglycomplex societal challenges.ALIGNMENT OF WMHS PROGRAM WITH THIS IMPERATIVE: Theinterdisciplinary nature of the WMHS Program is congruent with and anoutstanding example of Imperative 2.Imperative 12: Meet Our Commitment to TexasTexas A&M is a public, land-grant institution that prepares educatedproblem-solvers to lead the state. Texas A&M’s aspiration to be among thebest public universities in the country resonates with this historical mandate.The diverse population of Texas should have access to the best publiceducation in America without having to leave the state. To further fulfill ourmission, Texas A&M should engage in partnership with communities,industry, non-profit organizations and government entities to help solve themost difficult societal problems while honoring its heritage of enhancingeconomic and social well-being. Increased focus on excellence whilemaintaining relevance and access will allow Texas A&M to meet itscommitment to Texas.ALIGNMENT OF WMHS PROGRAM WITH THIS IMPERATIVE: MostWMHS program graduates are employed by Texas water agencies andorganizations and are working on Texas-specific water issues.Action 2015: Education FirstGoal 2: Elevate the impact of our scholarship to effectively advance the state,the nation, and the world in meeting societal challenges and opportunities.ALIGNMENT OF WMHS PROGRAM WITH THIS GOALProviding an adequate supply of potable water for a growing Texas, UnitedStates and worldwide population is a widely recognized challenge. Theresearch program and publication records of the WMHS faculty contained42 Water Management and Hydrological Science

in Appendix B clearly indicate they are addressing this challenge at multiplescales and levels.7.2 Strategic Plan/Program Assessment7.2.1 WMHS Program VisionIn line with the Vision 2020, the WMHS program aspires to be among thetop 10 public graduate programs in the nation for students pursuing anadvanced degree in water management and hydrological sciences, fulfillingits part of TAMU’s mission with scholarship, leadership, and innovation inall aspects of research, teaching, and service.7.2.2 WMHS Program MissionThe mission of the WMHS Interdisciplinary Graduate Program is:To prepare the next generation of water scientists, hydrologists, and managers throughteaching and research that improves the reliability and quality of water resources forhuman well-being and development.7.2.3 WMHS Program GoalsIn furtherance of its mission, the Water Management and HydrologicalScience Program seeks to:1.

Encourage the exchange of ideas and information between faculty andresearchers at Texas A&M University and engineers, scientists, and managers inboth the industry and government sectors.7.3 Learning OutcomesIn 2010 the WMHS Program developed a set of learning outcomes for eachof its degrees. Student learning outcomes articulate the results the WMHSprogram expects students to gain during their educational experiences.Broadly, the WMHS program expects its graduates to demonstrate:1. basic knowledge of the science and management related to waterscience and hydrology;2. critical analysis and creative problem solving skills; and3. effective communication.Each degree program has a slightly different set of learning outcomes and aset of achievement targets for each outcome. The program uses multiplemeasures to assess the degree of achievement of the learning outcomes.Each year, the program’s administrators compile student progress measuredagainst these learning outcomes and achievement targets.7.3.1 Outcomes for the Master of Water Management DegreeThis degree provides students with intellectual and technical foundations,including a broad understanding of hydrology, associated ecosystems andthe interplay between biophysical and social sciences to solve and managewater resources.Learning Objectives1.

For WMHS students, the Geography Departmenthas provided two open rooms that house 5-6 students per room and oneoffice for the program coordinator. All student desks in these offices wereacquired from a surplus property warehouse maintained by the University.Computers in the student offices were obtained from the GeographyDepartment Computer Lab that were scheduled to be surplussed. Exceptfor a few WMHS students who may have office space provided to them bytheir chair, this represents the totality of office facilities, desks andcomputers provided to WMHS students.48 Water Management and Hydrological Science

8. STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSESThe premise of theWater Managementand HydrologicalScience (WMHS)Graduate Program atTexas A&M Universityis that the programtranscends thetraditional optionsoffered underagriculture,engineering, geology,or natural resourcesdegree programs. Theneed to overcomethese constraints bydevelopinginterdisciplinaryprograms in WaterManagement andHydrological Sciencehas been articulated ina report published in1991 by the NationalAcademy of Sciences.This report called for anew educationalparadigm based on theconcept thathydrologic science and water management was beyond the purview of asingle department or discipline. This report called for reformulating watereducation based on a multidisciplinary model rather than a single disciplineapproach.Many land grant universities continue to offer a water degree as a subset of asingle department. A unique feature of the Texas A&M University WMHSprogram is that it is not constrained by the limitations of a singledepartment or college, as it draws on the faculty expertise throughout theUniversity, nor does it require department approval for admission. Ratherthe WMHS faculty, through the Executive Committee makes admissiondecisions. Other universities that have taken an interdisciplinary approachinclude University of California at Davis, University of Florida, University ofNew Mexico (MS only), University of Nevada (Reno), University ofColorado (Boulder) and Oregon State University. In 2012 New Mexico StateWater Management and Hydrological Science 49

University adopted an interdisciplinary water program based on the TexasA&M University WMHS model. See agecon.nmsu.edu/fward/water/New_Graduate_Program_Approval_Request_edited%207-18-2011.pdfEstablished in 1966, the University of Arizona's Department of Hydrologyand Water Resources was the first in the nation dedicated solely to thescience of water. It has a strong reputation in some specialist areas but itdoes not have the interdisciplinary breadth of many other programs.Since 2005, when the program officially started, 54 students have graduatedwith a WMHS degree from Texas A&M University. In addition to serving thestudents’ needs, the interdisciplinary faculty of WMHS has served as acatalyst in bringing researchers from diverse academic departments acrosscampus to form successful research collaborations. Many of thesecollaborations may not have otherwise naturally happened.8.1 Program Strengths8.1.1 Faculty ExpertiseThere is a wide-ranging pool of expertise among members of the WMHSfaculty exhibiting the highest quality in terms of scholarship, externalresearch support, and dedication to excellence. Core faculty who teachgraduate courses and supervise graduate students are located in each of thefour colleges and 12 departments. A review of their two-page CVs located inAppendix A reinforce the accolades that they deserve.8.1.2 Research ExpertiseWMHS faculty research programs have breadth and depth. Two or morefaculty members can be found in most research areas. (See Appendix B.)The scientists and scholars involved with WMHS program are committed toconceiving and carrying out research programs that improve public welfare,embrace the highest intellectual standards, and advance the understandingof water use and management.8.1.3 CurriculumThe WMHS program has a good blend of water related biophysical science,engineering, management, planning, and socio-economic courses. In itscurrent form, the curriculum offers students—regardless of theirbackground—the opportunity to gain a broad perspective of some of themost fundamental concepts in hydrology.We currently have a wide range of designated elective courses that---inprinciple—provide students with good theoretical understanding ofimportant disciplines and sub-disciplines within the broader field ofhydrology and water management. Many of these courses also providestudents with the valuable toolkit essential for their research endeavors.50 Water Management and Hydrological Science

8.1.4 Quality of StudentsThe program attracts a number of high-quality applicants with anapplication to acceptance ratio of approximately 3:1. The quality ofincoming graduate students, based on traditional metrics such as averageGRE and TOEFL scores, and GPR, is high. Our graduate students competewell at professional meetings in poster and oral competitions that bringrecognition to the WMHS program. Graduates of the program have jobsreadyskills and are found throughout the water industry.8.1.5 Student PlacementOur graduates are highly employable and have great success in obtainingjobs in the water industry. Of our 54 graduates, all except for two studentswho we were unable to locate and two students who have left the workforceto raise a family are working with water organizations or pursuing doctoraldegrees in water-related areas.8.1.6 Program Review by Texas Higher Education Coordinating BoardThe Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board requires each doctoralprogram at a public university to provide data on 18 prescribedcharacteristics. Though of basic informational use, the 18 characteristics fallmarkedly short of portraying the complete nature of a doctoral programand a complete program review. However, each University is to file anannual updated report. Appendix C contains the most recent report on theWMHS program.Water Management and Hydrological Science 51

8.2 Program Weaknesses8.2.1 External Program VisibilityThe program’s external visibility can be improved. One of the major reasonsfor this is not being a department with associated resources for studenttravel. Moreover, the program is relatively new and our graduate pool isfairly small. The lack of external visibility can hamper student recruiting,particularly among underrepresented groups. One effort to improve theprogram’s visibility is the water brochure found in the Appendix D. Thisbrochure is distributed at state, national, and international conferences.8.2.2 Restrictive Funding of WMHS Student by DepartmentsAs financial resources are becoming limited many departments will onlyfund their own students. Increasingly there are concerns that departmentsare restricting their faculty from offering research assistantships to WMHSstudents.8.2.3 Curriculum WeaknessesDespite the fact that we have a wide range of Designated Elective Courses,there is a lack of coordination on the part of faculty and host departmentson day and time of course scheduling. Faculty and departments have a highdegree of discretion for days and times that courses are offered so there areoften conflicts with other courses.8.2.4 Internal Program IdentityInternal university records and student tracking results in WMHS studentsbeing assigned to different departments based on the location of their chair.For example, a student whose chair is located in the Department of Soil andCrop Science is for record- keeping purposes assigned to that department.This has created student and program identity problems as they are unsureif they are a student in the Soil and Crop Science Department or in theWMHS program.8.2.5 Lack of Student Office SpaceThe Department of Geography has kindly provided office spaces for WMHSstudents and the Program Coordinator. Two office areas are allocated tostudents and four to six students share each office. As the WMHSenrollment has increased we are in dire need of space to accommodate upto 12 additional students. The Department of Geography is currently notable to provide additional space for our students. Consequently a number ofWMHS graduate students have no place to “call home” to study or work.This makes it difficult to maintain an identify when WMHS graduatestudents do not have the same study and office resources as students inUniversity departments.52 Water Management and Hydrological Science

8.2.6 Graduation ConfusionStudents in the 11 interdisciplinary graduate programs used to attendUniversity graduation as an interdisciplinary cohort. This practice served tohighlight the interdisciplinary degree programs to the thousands of familyand friends who attend Texas A&M graduation. It also enhanced theidentity of each program. Today, interdisciplinary graduates, includingWMHS master students, are required to attend the graduation ceremonybased on their advisors’ colleges. This practice has resulted in thediminution of interdisciplinary graduate degree identities and createdconfusion as to which ceremony students should attend.Water Management and Hydrological Science 53

9. PLANS FOR THE NEXT 1-3 YEARS9.1 Establish a WMHS External Advisory CommitteeTo date the WMHS Program has functioned without an external advisorycommittee. However, the Program has matured to the point where anexternal advisory committee can provide several benefits. It is envisionedthat the Committee will provide feedback and guidance in terms of• Providing academic training to the students• Developing skills to be successful in industry• Strengthening the curriculum to be responsive to industry needs• Improving the career opportunities of the graduates• Increasing program visibility• Enhancing student recruitment• Developing internship and placement programsThe Committee would meet once a year on campus for a day-long meeting.During these meetings, the Advisory Council interacts with the students,faculty, and TAMU administrators.9.2 Seek to Establish Additional WMHS Endowed ScholarshipsAn endowed WMHS fellowship was established to honor the contributionsof Valeen Silvy. Val was the first WMHS program coordinator, and shepassed away in 2011. Her fellowship provides a $1,250 annual grant to adeserving WMHS student. Potential donors will be identified andapproached to establish scholarships or fellowships for WMHS students.9.3 Establish On-Going Internships for WMHS studentsA number of water agencies, organizations, and students benefit frominternships. Internship opportunities are often sporadic varying from yearto year based on water organization needs. It is important for the WMHSprogram and students to provide some institutional continuity to thisprocess. Our goal is to develop 10 on-going internships that will providevaluable work experience for our master’s students and for water agenciesand organizations.54 Water Management and Hydrological Science
