Project Summary: A major project for 2005 is the statewide water conference sponsored by the WRRC. The WRRC will continue to include relevant and timely information on water resources research and policy developments in its highly acclaimed bi-monthly Arizona Water Resource newsletter. WRRC personnel regularly give lectures and presentations to diverse audiences. They collaborate with local, state, regional and federal agencies and organizations, and also participate on community boards and commissions. The WRRC is responding with public information to increased interest in water issues throughout Arizona and the region due to the rapid rate of population growth, prolonged drought, U.S.-Mexico water issues, and Colorado River water concerns. The WRRC will continue to post on its web site papers and presentations made by its staff as well as other important documents, such as working papers and research reports.
