Thesis

Laura Turley's research interests lie in the operation of institutions and infrastructure in the context of freshwater scarcity. Her doctoral thesis explores reservoir operations in three semi-arid river basins, and investigates the extent to which their historical and present day operations reflect “commons management.”

She is working under the supervision of Professor Géraldine Pflieger and Professor Christian Bréthaut
