Already grappling with severe drought, the Phoenix metro area could soon face cuts of 25-50% to its water allocation from the Colorado River. That could force water restrictions and an increased reliance on rapidly depleting groundwater reserves.

Day one kicks off on Tempe Town Lake, where Pappy's hopping aboard a boat tour with Councilmember Nikki Amberg to talk about what it takes to keep water flowing in the desert.

‍After the boat ride, he'll take a Pappy Plunge and get ready to spend the next day in the water - with you.Meet Pappy on the Salt River at 9 am and float alongside him in good company.

RSVP HERE.Then follow him into town for the grand finale: Flashlight Nights at the Desert Botanical Garden, where you'll watch the desert light up after dark. TICKETS HERE.
