Experts weigh plusses and minuses of augmenting Arizona’s water supplies

On January 4, State legislators heard from a panel of experts on desalination – potentially one of the most intriguing water-augmentation sources for Arizona – including Water Resources Director Buschatzke.

For all of us, "water awareness" means more than just conservation

By proclamation of the Governor in 2008, it is Water Awareness Month in Arizona.

So, what do you suppose that means?

On a personal level, being “water aware” almost universally means learning to conserve water. It is a precious and scarce resource, after all. As citizens of an arid Western state who are approaching our 17th consecutive year of drought, water conservation is an imperative.

A Special Tribute to the late Rick Lavis - one of Arizona's dearest water champions

Long a stout representative of Arizona's agricultural community at the state Legislature, Rick Lavis, 76, passed away Saturday after a lengthy battle with cancer.

A committed, fair-minded advocate for his industry, cotton growing, Lavis in fact was more than a representative of an important sector of the Arizona economy. He also was a passionate advocate for his state's long-term economic best interests. And that included helping assure a bountiful water supply for all.
