Draft:National Hydroecology Burrito Day

National Hydroecology Burrito Day (NHBD) is an annual celebration that occurs on April 12th of each year where hydrologists, primarily within the United States, gather together to eat burritos. The holiday can also be observed by non-experts gathering to eat burritos with hydroecologists or ecohydrologists.

Hydroecology Burrito Day originated as a small gathering while Sam Zipper was completing his doctoral degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The first national celebration of Hydroecology Burrito Day (NHBD) on record occurred in 2021 and has since been celebrated formally by research groups at universities and informally among individual hydrologists in states including Alabama, Florida , Virginia , and New York. The holiday is officially recognized as an unofficial holiday by the American Geophysical Union's Hydrology Subsection Student Subcommittee.
