The Institute is dedicated to forecasting and tackling water challenges<\/span> arising in our rapidly changing world.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Water Institute at Arizona State University is a global leader in water research and action, dedicated to forecasting and tackling water challenges at all scales, from local communities to national systems. Leveraging the extensive academic resources at ASU and the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory\u00ae,<\/sup> we unite top thinkers and educators to explore the future of water and collaboratively address complex water issues through innovative education-, research- and communication-driven projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are convening a global network of experts and practitioners to drive sustained innovation in water and climate technology and policy. By advancing these areas together, we aim to develop resilient solutions for emerging and urgent water and climate challenges. <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n
