Megdal is Director of The University of Arizona Water Resources Research Center (WRRC)\, a Cooperative Extension center and a research unit in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Her work focuses on water policy and management\, on which she writes and frequently speaks.  She also holds the titles: Professor and Specialist\, Department of Environmental Science; C.W. & Modene Neely Endowed Professor; and Distinguished Outreach Professor.

After earning both a B.S. and an M.S. in mechanical engineering\, he began to focus on designing sustainable systems at healthcare and higher education campuses. Now\, institutions nationwide who wish to design more sustainable and cost effective utility systems or use alternative fuel technologies seek out Henry’s expertise. He led the effort to design new thermal energy storage systems at universities throughout the Southwestern U.S.\, as well as in Alaska and Illinois. He also works with municipalities who want to explore options for district energy in their downtown locations. \nIn addition to his design work\, Henry has presented papers on the theoretical and technical aspects of his work and is the author of many articles about the water-energy nexus—the effect of air conditioning use on our water supply. He regularly participates in GLHN’s symposiums for university facilities and maintenance personnel and has lectured internationally on topics related to combined heat and power\, district energy\, and energy economics.
