We are thrilled to see that the highly respected Water Shelf on Maven’s Notebook posted a positive review on Professor of Natural Resource Law at Stanford University, Barton Thompson’s latest work, Liquid Asset – How Business and Government Can Partner to Solve the Fresh Water Crisis. The author of the review hails it as a book that “… helps us to think more broadly of water as an asset, in a way that combines for-profit economics with public benefits into a cohesive valuation of water.”
In 2019, Professor Thompson invited Cordoba Corporation’s EVP and COO Randall Martinez to speak with his Stanford Law School students as part of a “Business of Water” lecture series. The book, in turn, features Cordoba Corporation‘s good work assisting the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power with dust mitigation efforts at Owens Lake (in California’s Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains).
The richly detailed analysis to foster both improved public policy and responsible business behavior offers readers a chance to delve into the Professor Thompson’s years of research of challenges and opportunities.
