APPENDIX E Biographical Sketches of Committee Members HERMAN BOUWER (Chairman) received his Ph.D. in agricultural engineering (soil and water management) in 1955 from Cornell University. He is currently the director of the USDA Water Conservation Laboratory and an adjunct professor, Arizona State University and University of Arizona (teaching semester courses in ground water hydrology, supervising graduate dissertation projects, giving lectures and seminars). As laboratory director, he directs a research program consisting of development of efficient irrigation systems, water measurement, irrigation scheduling, remote sensing of crop stress and evapotranspiration, ground water recharge, ground water quality protection, and other projects on conserving water and its,quality. ROBERT E. BECK is a professor of law at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. He received his LL.B. from the University of Minnesota in 1960 and his LL.M. from New York University in 1966. His expertise is natural resource law and he specializes in oil and gas, coal mining, and water resources. Dr. Beck has received several honors and awards, including the Chester Fritz Distinguished Professorship in 1975 and the Order of the Coif in 1960. -156-

He specializes in areas of experimental and computer modeling research on relationships between environmental variables and whole-plant physiological processes, including disruptions induced by pollutant stress and soil variability effects on hydrologic transport. Dr. Luxmoore is a member of the American Geophysical Union and a fellow of the Soil Science Society of America. JOHN C. SENCINDIVER received his Ph.D. in agronomy and soil science in 1977 from West Virginia UniversitY. _ ~ He is currently a processor of soil science at West Virginia University. His research interests lie in soil genesis and classification, overburden and minesoil properties, surface mine reclamation, and the impacts of surface mining on ground water recharge and quality. Dr. Sencindiver is a member of the American Society for Surface Mining and Reclamation, of the Soil Science Society of America, and of various other organizations. JAMES R. WALLIS received his B.S. in forestry from the University of New Brunswick in 1950, an M.S. from Oregon State University in 1954, and a Ph.D. in soil morphology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1965. Currently he is a research staff member at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, where he has been since 1967. His principal interests are in mathematical models applied to hydrology, soils, forestry, and land management. Dr. Wallis is a member of the Water Science and Technology Board. WILLIAM W.
