Water is Arizona's most critical resource.
The Commission will bring a vision of a sustainable water policy to the people of Arizona for the next several generations, the Governor said. This year marks the 20 th anniversary of Arizona s Groundwater Code, the 1980 landmark legislation aimed at insuring a sustainable water supply for the state. The Code regulates water use in five Active Management Areas, which include 80 percent of the state population. The Code has served as an excellent guide for water policy, the Governor said, but it is time to see if revisions and additions are needed. Our Groundwater Code has been nationally recognized as a model of water policy for the West.
