From Data to Decisions: Tools and Frameworks for Arizona Water Management
Monday, Sept 14, 2026 | 12-1 pm | Zoom
The Arizona Tri-University Recharge and Water Reliability Project (ATUR) invites you to join its Fall 2026 Webinar Series, which will take place every Monday on Zoom from September 14 through October 5. The first webinar is titled "From Data to Decisions: Tools and Frameworks for Arizona Water Management.” You can see the full list of webinars below.
The main goal of the Fall Webinar Series is to help land and water managers, as well as other interested audiences, to understand and use the findings and conclusions of the project report, which was released in June. You can watch the recording of our first overview webinar, "Navigating the ATUR Report," on our YouTube Page.

ABOUT THE ATUR REPORT
A culmination of 3 years of research on the state of groundwater in Arizona, the ATUR Project Report and associated products are available to read and download on our website as of June 17, 2026. The report includes 6 sections of research findings and guidance for stakeholders, organized around two dozen Key Messages that highlight the most important findings of the project.
ABOUT THE ATUR PROJECT
The Arizona Tri-University Recharge and Water Reliability Project (ATUR) is a research project funded by the Arizona Board of Regents at the request of the Arizona Department of Water Resources. The project is focused on identifying opportunities to enhance water supplies through capture of precipitation that would otherwise evaporate. Our work has reinforced prior studies that estimated that more than 95% of the water that falls on Arizona’s land surface evaporates, sublimates or transpires through plants before reaching a channel or recharging groundwater. Capturing even a small percentage of this water for groundwater aquifer recharge or direct use could provide additional supplies for Arizona’s communities and ecosystems.
