Tempe, Arizona … On Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at 6 p.m. KJZZ News is hosting a panel discussion “The Politics of Water” as part of ongoing coverage of water in Arizona. 

The conversation, moderated by The Show’s Mark Brodie, will explore the politics of water: the stakeholders involved, and the conflicts and cooperation that exist throughout all levels of government, as Arizona contends with historic drought and concerns about the state’s water supply.

This discussion with experts is part of KJZZ’s Every Last Drop series, tackling big questions about Arizona’s water future. Panelists include Bruce Hallin, Special Advisor to the Director, the Arizona Department of Water Resources, Stefanie Smallhouse, president of the Arizona Farm Bureau, Warren Tenney, executive director of the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association, and Cora Tso, senior research fellow in Tribal Water Policy at the Kyl Center for Water Policy.

The panel forum will include the opportunity for audience questions.

The public is invited to attend in person at Rio Salado Conference Center, 2323 W. 14th St., Tempe, AZ 85281 or virtually.  More information will be provided to those who register for the event here.

This event is in partnership with Walton Family Foundation.
