Additional Resources

We Are Water (WAW):

Water, critical and scarce in the Four Corners Region, connects local communities through our shared place and unique stories.

We are Water (WaW) brings a traveling exhibit and interactive programs to rural communities in the Four Corners Region of the U.S. and engages community members in conversations about their personal and community connections to local water topics. Libraries in rural areas, which often function as the local science center, will host the exhibit, programs, and STEM experiences in their communities.
