Water is life. Yet water security is one of the most important challenges facing us.

We’ll pursue an approach where all communities and people – including you - contribute to shaping our own water future as we explore local to state-level issues and beyond. The course blends short lectures, guest speakers from across the water community, and interactive discussions. By the end of the six weeks, participants will understand where their water comes from, the systems that govern it, and practical entry points to engage in local and regional water conversations.

Co-instructors Michellsey Benally and Chris Kuzdas have combined decades of experience working with communities across the landscapes of the West and beyond.
