The Water Resources Research Center (WRRC) at the University of Arizona cordially invites you to its upcoming webinar: “Prioritizing Transboundary Aquifers in the Arizona-Sonora Region”, a space to explore innovative solutions to the growing pressure on shared water resources.
Sustainable water management is a critical challenge, particularly in arid regions like the U.S.-Mexico border.
Invitation to the WRRC Water Webinar
Date: Friday, March 28, 2025
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm (MST)
Platform: Zoom (access link included upon registration)
Dr. Elia Tapia, professor and researcher at the University of Sonora and an expert in applied hydrology and climate change, will present a multicriteria approach to prioritize transboundary aquifers.
Using publicly available data, the study identifies areas where binational studies could have the greatest impact, addressing regional disparities and offering a replicable framework to improve water management. Her findings, recently published, are key to strengthening climate resilience and cooperation between both nations.
She is a member of the Permanent Forum of Binational Waters, since 2022. Dra. Elia Tapia is particularly interested in groundwater assessment and management in transboundary settings and research using remote sensing and GIS tools, along with effective stakeholder engagement methodology.
Why attend?
- Learn evidence-based strategies to address droughts, increasing demand, and population growth.
- Gain insights from an expert with extensive experience in programs like the Transboundary Aquifer Assessment Program (TAAP) and collaborations with the Inter-American Development Bank.
- Engage in a binational dialogue on water governance and sustainability.
The webinar will include a Q&A session via Zoom chat. For disability-related accessibility accommodations, contact [email protected].
