When “symbolic” policy is anything but: Policy design and feedbacks from California's human right to water law

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 701-722, August 2025.
Abstract Despite the reality that advocates frequently expend significant resources to pass symbolic policies, this policy design has often been neglected by policy studies scholarship. We combine policy design and policy feedback theory to examine this oft overlooked policy design in practice using the case of California's human right to water law ...

Understanding the Impact of Institutions on Climate‐Adaptive Policy Designs: A Study of Collective Action Inference in Urban Water Systems

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 637-653, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Feedback is ubiquitous in complex systems and critical to the process of designing public policies to solve problems such as climate adaptation. However, well‐known cognitive and institutional constraints can impact information feedback processes, limiting a system's ability to incorporate feedback into policy designs.

Achieving sustainable water distribution through penalty‐free multi‐objective evolutionary design optimization

World Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 499-525, May 2025.
Abstract Water distribution networks are costly long‐term investments, prompting researchers to seek cost reduction and efficient design solutions using optimization techniques. In this context, the Penalty‐Free Multi‐Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (PFMOEA) is employed alongside pressure‐dependent analysis (PDA) to optimize water distribution systems
