If you think you did a bad job today remember that I just returned from a lecture where I went "Woooo!" into a microphone in an auditorium with several hundred people and then finger gunned a very important scientist.

Meet the hydrologist monitoring the waterways of the Navajo Nation.

Throughout her childhood living in a mountainous region of Arizona, Karletta Chief would make a familiar trek. She would take a 10-gallon white bucket to the local well and pump water up to its brim. Then, lugging the large bucket with her small frame, Chief would carry the water up a hill to her family’s home in Black Mesa, a plateau in the Navajo Nation reservation.

“Being a little kid, it was quite strenuous carrying a big bucket of water,” Chief says.

The Navajo people, or the “Diné” people, have a deep connection to the environment. They see water as a sacred entity. Chief is from the Bitter Water Clan—one of the original clans that derives from the four different types of water the Navajo people came upon. Growing up on the reservation, her family lived off the land and raised livestock, such as sheep, horses, and cattle. But, the community went without electricity and running water.

Early on in her life, Chief became aware of the mining presence in the region. Numerous mines dot the Navajo Nation. The land base—about the size of West Virginia and occupying parts of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico—is rich with natural resources, luring in industries that extract uranium, coal, oil, and gas. She began to wonder why her family went without common necessities, while coal was pulverized and transported with pristine groundwater to produce energy for large cities, like Las Vegas, Tucson, and Phoenix, Chief explains.

“We had a real sense of conserving water, because it was scarce,” she says. Water is “a real part of just my identity.”

Today, as a hydrologist at the University of Arizona, Chief studies the flow of water through the crannies and channels in soil. Through her research, she tries to better understand how industries impact the environment and people of Navajo Nation. Learn more.

A Day in the Life of a Hydrologist in South Australia

In a state as dry as South Australia, hydrologists perform the robust and evidence-based science needed to help secure our water future. Hydrologists study the distribution, movement and quality of the state’s water resources, and act as the interpreters and communicators of water information. This information informs important water management decisions and is made available to water…
