Did you know

Only 36% of Arizona’s water supply comes from the Colorado River, which is less than other states that rely on it, such as Nevada (100%) and California (60%). Arizona boasts the most advanced program for managing groundwater in the country, with vast aquifers that provide access to water during times of drought. A staggering 93% of the water that enters the Greater Phoenix waste stream can be reclaimed and treated for potable use.
