Groundwater in Rural Arizona: Its importance to communities and how we can manage this essential resource 

In more than 80 percent of Arizona, groundwater use is unmanaged, meaning anyone can drill a well and withdraw groundwater—even if that impacts a neighboring well, a nearby stream, or threatens a community’s water supply.

Join us for a conversation on groundwater in rural Arizona, its importance to communities, and what can be done to improve its management.
