7 p.m. — Official grand opening of the exhibit
"Humans have innovated to thrive in Arizona for millennia. Today, many access water with the turn of a tap because of the ingenuity of the Indigenous caretakers of the desert lands who built the canals that are the foundation of our present-day water systems. But too many Arizonans still face water insecurity every day.
Arizona Water for All, a part of ASU's Arizona Water Innovation Initiative, invites you to dive into learning about the rich history of our most precious natural resource. The "Arizona Water Innovation" exhibit will take you on a journey through time and invite you to ask yourself: what is the water future I want to create?"
