RE: Adsactly Education - Arizona People and Water
Unfortunately nowadays Arizona, faces significant challenges in water supply. Because the state has been going through a persistent drought for several years, and Arizona residents consume about 113,000 cubic meters of water each year more than natural resources can fill. It's the equivalent of more than 35 Olympic-sized pools filled with water.
Since then, many cities in Arizona have some water use regulations. For example, they must pay a surcharge when they consume more than a certain amount of water per person. Also residents are allowed to water their lawn only on certain days of the week, depending on their mailing address.
Water is the critical mass for Arizona in the future. The next river compact is going to be a bare knuckle fight. California, Arizona, Colorado, Utah all rely on the tributaries and the Colorado. 40 million people get their drinking water from the river and way more than that rely on the produce grown in the desert. It's a real mess.
