Watershed and Land Management
And other Natural Resource/Water information
Water in Arizona is precious. Having water means life to anyone living in the desert-and that fact means we will
go to great lengths to get it, keep control of it, and use it for our own purposes. While the Anazazi and Hohokam
people prayed for rain and constructed elaborate irrigation systems to capture the rain when it fell, many a
contemporary homeowner in Arizona will expect to walk to a water tap and acquire WATER. The following links will
provide you with information to help you better manage your private wells and temporary or emergency water resources.
