About us

The Water Whys project is a Vertically Integrated Project at the University of Arizona that was started in the spring of 2022. We are an interdisciplinary team of students, scientists and professionals working to create scientifically accurate, visually effective and accessible graphics that answer water-related questions.

Please check out our resources page to see our work, follow us on social media for the latest updates, and feel free to reach out if you have a question that we can answer! If you are an undergraduate or graduate student at the University of Arizona, applications for new team members are open prior to the Fall and Spring semester. Check our student registration page for more information.

Resources created by the Water Whys team are free for meteorologists and journalists to use and are funded by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1945195, the Arizona Institute for Resilience (AIR) and the University of Arizona Office of the Provost.
