On September 6th, more than 50 people gathered in Miami, Arizona to participate in the Cobre Valley Small Town Forum on Water. The meeting was held to facilitate discussion about water resources management among elected officials, utility and planning staff, natural resource experts, and other interested water users. While only about 100 square miles in area, Cobre Valley is home to multiple competing water uses. Water scarcity, historic contamination, and limited resources are making it more critical than ever for all community water users to agree on the status of water resources in the Valley and establish priorities for their management.
