NEW! 12:00 p.m. - 1:15 p.m. WRRC Water Webinar: 104(b) Grant Program – Student Research Presentations. Ame Min-Venditti, PhD Student, School of Sustainability, ASU, and Angelina Mann, undergraduate student, English, Spanish & American Indian Studies, ASU, will discuss Writing Indigenous Water Stories. Although there are 22 Tribal Nations in Arizona, most people don't know about their deep cultural and spiritual connections to water. Furthermore, Indigenous communities have some of the highest rates of water insecurity. The project sought to connect the water stories of Native American communities with broad public concerns about water access and health and aimed to inspire new ideas and solutions for water issues in Arizona. Phoenix Spivey, former Graduate Student, U of A, will present Green Infrastructure's Impact: Urban Rainwater Garden Influences on Semi-Arid Soil Health. Her study teams’s research suggested that rain gardens are regulators of soil nutrient cycling and respiration. More info and Zoom registration link are HERE:  LOCATION: Zoom webinar only.
