Water is everyone’s business and the business of water affects everyone. On Wednesday, March 28, 2018, The Business of Water will be front and center at the University of Arizona (UA) Water Resources Research Center’s Annual Conference, which will be held at the University of Arizona Student Union in Tucson, Arizona.  

Arizona Project WET (APW) collaborated with Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) to immerse 20 teachers from across Arizona in the first Underwater Robotics and Engineering Design Academy sponsored by Arizona Department of Water Resources. 

The WRRC's 2016 Annual Report has been released and posted to the WRRC website. The report contains information on the accomplishments of WRRC personnel and programs and highlights activities that have moved us toward achieving our strategic goals.

Field opportunities ignite a passion for science and the environment. This was the case for Pusch Ridge Academy highschool student, Rachel Nehrmeyer. Armed with Arizona Project WET (APW) equipment and lessons, Rachel performed biological and chemical sampling of Tucson waterways for the past two years to assess the health of the system.

ThinkWater recently announced the selection of 10 leaders in water education, outreach, and extension to be ThinkWater Fellows for 2017-18. Dr. Grant Weinkam, Research Analyst, University of Arizona Water Resources Research Center, was among the list of new fellows selected from the many outstanding applications from candidates across the country.  

The deadline is approaching to apply for the WRRC summer internship—an internship designed for students interested in gaining experience writing about environmental and water issues. The selected intern will contribute to research and writing for an issue of Arroyo, the annual WRRC publication that focuses on a critical Arizona water issue.

The University of Arizona is a member of the International Arid Lands Consortium (IALC), which is a collaborating partner for the conference “Cutting-edge Solutions to Wicked Water Problems”, scheduled for September 10-11, 2017 in Tel Aviv, Israel.   

The March 28th Water Resources Research Center Annual Conference poster session provided a unique opportunity for UA students to showcase their research and interact with the diverse mix of conference participants. Among the posters presenters were two WRRC student research assistants, Erin Gray and Bailey Kennett.

On March 28, 2017, approximately 325 people traveled to the University of Arizona Student Union for the WRRC Annual Conference, Irrigated Agriculture in Arizona: A Fresh Perspective.

The University of Arizona’s Water Resources Research Center is offering a summer internship to a student interested in gaining experience writing about environmental and water issues.
