SBAR Educators and Fellows get schooled on current water issues

WRRC Director Gives Talk to SBAR Educators     

On July 8, UA's Water Resources Research Center Director Dr. Sharon B. Megdal presented "Water Challenges and Solutions in Arizona and the West" to educators with UA Sustainable Bioeconomy for Arid Regions (SBAR).  Dr. Megdal touched on many topics such as the importance of the Colorado River and Central Arizona Project, solutions to wicked water problems, recharge, and the Drought Contingency Plan.   

SBAR educators work together to create lessons that are appealing and informative to youth and communities. Their goals are to prepare younger citizens to pursue education and careers in various arid regions, create awareness of sustainable and local bio-economy, and to provide free science lessons for teachers to deploy in their classrooms.
