The UTEP One Water Cluster and the artist-led collective Somos Agua/We Are Water invite you to the fourth edition of World Water Week, an annual celebration of water and environmental justice, activism, and research.
As in the last three years, World Water Week will feature a week of interdisciplinary events designed to engage us in necessary conversations around water. These events and activations take place from March 18 – 23, 2024, and for the first time, events will be hosted in both El Paso and Ciudad Juarez.
Here to tell us about World Water Week are Melissa Malpignano, Allison Orr and Jane Terrazas.
