NEW! 12:00 p.m. - 1:15 p.m. WRRC Water Webinar: Addressing Transboundary Water Issues in the AZ-Sonora Border Region: The Arizona Perspective. Speakers: Joaquin Marruffo, Environmental Justice Coordinator, and Claudia Gil Anaya, Environmental Science Specialist, both from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.The water dynamics in the Arizona-Sonora border region are complex and challenging. The accelerated growth undergone by the Sonora border communities, in addition to the limited resources of these communities to respond, often results in environmental and human health impacts on both sides of the border. The mission of the Border Programs Unit at the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality is to protect public health and the environment in Arizona border communities via collaboration with entities on both sides of the border to achieve tangible, on-the-ground improvements to environmental quality. This WRRC Water Webinar will address how the team works to develop, nurture, and strengthen working relationships with stakeholders to effectively resolve transboundary environmental issues. More info and the Zoom link are HERE:  LOCATION: Webinar only
