About This Event

The New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute (NM WRRI) and the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez (UACJ) hope you will attendTwo Nations One Water 2021: Binational Water Conference for Chihuahua, New Mexico, and Texas, taking place virtually September 28-30, 2021. 


This three-day conference, hosted jointly by NM WRRI and UACJ, will bring together water researchers and trusted experts from the shared border region of New Mexico, Texas, and Chihuahua to share research, build trust, and explore ways to work towards a sustainable water future for the U.S. and Mexico. 


Initially planned as a follow-up to the 2019 Two Nations One Water summit to take place in early 2020, conference organizers had to make the decision to cancel that conference due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With virtual conference formats now more common, we hope that this virtual event will be an opportunity to build binational collaboration on a number of projects, including existing projects within the Transboundary Aquifer Assessment Program.
