We invite you to a conversation about the future of water management in the Colorado River Basin. This Science Talk, scheduled for April 3 at 4:00 PM Central Time via Zoom, will explore the in-depth economic, social, and water implications of Minutes 323 and 330, vital binational agreements for the region.
Why is this event important?
-
- Deep Understanding of Key Agreements:
- Minutes 323 and 330 are fundamental to the shared management of water between Mexico and the United States. This event offers a unique opportunity to understand how these agreements directly impact communities, economies, and ecosystems.
- Knowledge from Leading Experts:
- Astrid Hernández (University of Sonora)
- Her research focuses on the detection of toxic metals in water and integrated water management. Currently, she is doing postdoctoral research investigating arsenic contamination and detection in the Sonora River basin.
- América N. Lutz Ley (El Colegio de Sonora)
- General Academic Director and Professor-Researcher at the Center for Studies on Development at El Colegio de Sonora.
- Alejandra Álvarez Rivera (Instituto Politécnico Nacional)
- Astrid Hernández (University of Sonora)
- Deep Understanding of Key Agreements:
- Engineer and Master in Civil Engineering, specializing in hydraulics, hydrology, drought analysis, and water resources management. Her recent work focuses on the hydro-economic impact of reductions and climate change in systems that depend on the Colorado River.
