Shared Water, Shared Border: Water Leadership Institute fosters connections in Arizona and Mexico
Water doesn’t follow geopolitical borders, so why should water advocacy? In areas like the Sonoran Desert, encouraging budding water leaders from both sides of the border to collaborate is key to community resilience and safeguarding water security for generations to come.
That’s why the latest Arizona cohort of the Water Leadership Institute (WLI) — a bilingual leadership training program developed by EDF, Arizona Water for All, Water For People and Reconciliación en el Río Santa Cruz — was organized around five sessions in different locations along the Santa Cruz River, which crosses the border in two locations.
