FROM THE CITY OF TUCSON NEWSNET: BECOME A CITIZEN SCIENTIST WITH PROJECT HARVEST – The University of Arizona’s College of Agriculture & Life Sciences is looking for volunteers to join its Citizen Science Project.

The University of Arizona's Water Resources Research Center invites proposals for student research projects that address water-related issues of importance to Arizona and the Southwest.

Each year, WRRC faculty and staff devote long hours to production of a detailed Annual Report, containing a wealth of information on our yearly accomplishments, finances, and multiple water programs across Arizona.

Broad smiles and happy faces were the end result of Arizona Project WET (APW)'s recent Arizona Hydrological Society (AHS) Symposium 2017 Teacher Workshop, sponsored by the AHS Foundation.

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.
