The Santa Cruz and San Pedro aquifers are important sources of water for the Arizona-Sonora border region. Even though groundwater from these aquifers is an essential resource for social, economic, and environmental needs in both countries, assessments of these aquifers had not been conducted by a binational team until more recently. We invite you to attend this brown bag presentation, where we will share information from the binational studies of the Transboundary San Pedro and Santa Cruz aquifers. The studies were conducted in partnership with the USGS, the University of Sonora, and others. The presentation will involve members of the USGS-UA team involved with studying the Arizona-Sonora aquifers. We will also discuss future directions for studying these aquifers.
The Binational Study of the Transboundary San Pedro Aquifer is the first-ever binational aquifer study released simultaneously in English and Spanish by the International Boundary and Water Commission.
