The theme for the WRRC 2026 Annual Conference is Water for Tech, Mining & Energy: Pathways to Arizona's Future. The conference will be held April 14–15 at the University of Arizona Student Union in Tucson, Arizona, and its program will focus on the challenges and opportunities for water stewardship in Arizona’s commercial and industrial sectors, such as mining, energy, and technology. Discussions will cover innovative strategies, best practices, regulatory frameworks, municipal-industrial partnerships, and environmental considerations. In addition to in-person attendance, a non-interactive free Zoom livestream will be available. The WRRC Annual Conference attracts participants from across Arizona and beyond, including water professionals, agency personnel, farmers, academics, students, environmental NGOs, community leaders, and interested citizens.
