Resilient Communities and Watersheds

We help leaders build resilient communities and watersheds

 

Resilient Communities and Watersheds, a joint program of Sonoran Institute and Lincoln Institute’s Babbitt Center for Land and Water Policy assists communities in the Colorado River Basin and those that depend on its waters to scale collaborative action to address the region’s critical challenges. Together we can assess risk, create proactive plans and innovative policies, and bridge gaps between civic agencies so that communities become more resilient.

Explore our resources, trainings and technical assistance opportunities to gain the full range of communications, public engagement, planning and policy implementation tools to realize your community’s goals.
