Get Into Water: Coffee Breaks Exploring Water Topics
Get Into Water with our Coffee Breaks. They serve as a dynamic space for experts from both the U.S. and Mexico to connect, share, and discuss the science of water issues in an easy language.
We’ve hosted nearly 20 events that have featured insightful discussions, facts, water challenges, policy discussions and strategic alternatives on water management.
The facts, water challenges and the knowledge shared in these sessions reflect the most current and relevant information in the binational water field. Watch Past Coffee Breaks
