Arizona Water Map Poster

The Water Resources Research Center Arizona Water Map Poster is the latest in our series of reliable and concise visual representations of Arizona's water resources. This, the fourth edition of the map is the product of a design and review process that engaged stakeholders from across regions and sectors. The new map reflects the current state of water resources in Arizona, as well as a culture of management and planning unique to the state.
Outreach
We transfer water research results and information to other researchers, water managers, policy makers, and the wider public through publications, conferences, lectures, seminars, and workshops.

Faculty and research personnel at any of Arizona's three public universities are invited to submit research proposals to the WRRC for grants of up to $10,000.

Somehow, we are already at the threshold of Spring Break at UArizona. As we enter the second half of the semester, the WRRC looks forward to an exciting lineup of Brown Bag webinars and special events.

More Information

The Salt River Project (SRP) has informative educational materials about watersheds available online. A six-part video series focuses on the Salt and Verde Rivers and describes the components of a watershed. These components, from mountain forests to the creeks, work in concert to store and filter water that ultimately is used by households. The videos explain where the water comes from, how and why water is stored, what makes up a watershed, how our water infrastructure works, the role and history of water in Arizona, and the challenges we may face in the future.
