The UA’s Water Resources Research Center is offering a summer internship to a student interested in gaining experience writing about environmental and water issues.  The selected intern will contribute to research and writing for an issue of Arroyo, the annual WRRC publication that focuses on a critical Arizona water issue. Arroyo is recognized as source of objective, accurate and understandable information and reaches a wide audience that includes policy makers and water professionals as well as the interested public.

The 2019 Arroyo will focus on the business of water. It will delve into various aspects of water from a business perspective, such as water transactions and markets, infrastructure financing, the relationship of water to economic development, and business contributions to environmental goals. Familiarity with principles of economics and water resources is desirable but not required.

Enrolled students in good standing at the UA, ASU, and NAU are eligible. The intern will work approximately 20 hours per week for 10 weeks between May and August 2018, for a stipend of $3,000.

The intern will work at the WRRC offices in Tucson.  The successful applicant will be responsible for his/her own accommodations.
