Management Plans for each active management area reflect the evolution of the Groundwater Management Code, moving Arizona toward its long-term water management goals. The plans include mandatory conservation programs for all persons withdrawing, distributing or receiving groundwater designed to achieve reductions in withdrawals of groundwater.
A series of five management plans prepared beginning in 1980 and running through 2025 contain progressively more rigorous management requirements for agricultural, municipal and industrial water users.
The provisions of the 4MP will be in effect until the Fifth Management Plan is effective, for the period 2020-2025.
ADWR has formed a Management Plans Work Group for the development of the 5th Management Plans. Meeting materials and information are available.
