The Arizona Hydrological Society, Phoenix Chapter, and ASU’s Center for Hydrologic Innovations have partnered to bring the water community together to celebrate the start of the new water year. This annual event, held at the Salt River Project’s PERA Club this year, is an exciting opportunity for students and researchers to engage with practitioners from the private sector, government…

Forests and grasslands play a significant role in providing freshwater for ecosystems and regional economies. However, these ecosystems are at risk of elevated levels of drought, wildfire and land degradation. Under increasing water risks, private sector investors need methods to quantify and verify water related benefits to report on corporate water goals. Practitioners need to…

The Center for Hydrologic Innovations is a hub of water science and engineering research at Arizona State University. Our faculty, postdoctoral researchers and students work collaboratively to bring new technologies into the hands of those who need them most. Your gift through the ASU Foundation fosters the creation of new areas for hydrologic innovations and…
