Texas A&M Water Day is hosted by the Texas A&M College of Arts and Sciences Water Management and Hydrological Science Program and the Texas Water Resources Institute, a unit of Texas A&M AgriLife Research that brings together expertise from across Texas A&M AgriLife.

Through a poster competition and lecture on water resources, the event will highlight water-related research from engineering, agriculture and earth science fields and provide students with invaluable networking opportunities and research communication experience.

Poster displays and judging will be held from 9 a.m.-noon at the Memorial Student Center in the 12th Man Hall. The water lecture and poster award ceremony will begin at 2:30 p.m. in Rudder Tower, Room 501.
