Humans have innovated to thrive in Arizona for millennia. Today, many access water with the turn of a tap because of the ingenuity of the indigenous caretakers who built the canals that are the foundation of our present-day water systems.
Arizona Water for All, as part of Arizona State University's Arizona Water Innovation Initiative, invites you to dive into learning about the rich history of our most precious natural resource. Spanning over thousands of years of innovations, witness the ingenuity of ancient canal systems that brought water from the Salt and Gila rivers into desert settlements. Listen to the stories of present-day communities working to make water more accessible to rural Arizonans. See the impacts that community-based research and technology can have on our shared water resources.
Arizona Water Innovation will take you on a journey through time and invite you to ask yourself: What is the water future I want to create?
