ADWR Releases New Basin Studies & Factsheets
Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) has released 13 new Supply and Demand Reports (SDRs) in their latest installment of an initiative that began in 2023 to develop high-level groundwater "budgets" for 51 Arizona basins. These reports are intended to help support local planning for water augmentation and conservation. The SDRs are structured as water budgets that focus on total inflows and outflows at the basin scale. The basins covered in the 2025 release include Hualapai Valley, Safford, and Little Colorado River Plateau.
Additionally, ADWR has released 34 new one-page factsheets to accompany each of the currently existing Supply and Demand Reports. The factsheets provide an at-a-glance reference that includes maps, breakdowns of water use by sector, and future projections under different scenarios.
The reports and factsheets are all freely available to view and download on ADWR’s website.
