Weekly Wave: Health and Function of Arizona Watersheds Story Map

A story about watersheds is a story about land and water. On Friday, April 16, Arizona Project WET, in partnership with the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Morrison Institute and the National Forest Foundation, is launching a new and engaging online resource: “Health and Function of Arizona Watersheds Story Map.” This story map connects our water supply in Arizona to the landscapes we depend on - both in the natural and built environments. Drill down into the relationships between land and water, and study forest health, devastating wildfire, the built environment, climate change, and our amazing biodiversity. Water both nurtures and erodes our land. Changes in the land affect our water quality and supply. Watershed and forest health are integral parts of the Arizona water story. Powered by ArcGIS StoryMaps, the watershed story map pulls together interactive maps, photographs, videos, and text to provide an informative resource for all. The project highlights that we are all watershed managers and issues a call to get involved!
