Arizona Water Initiative

The initiative continued the work published in the 2014 Strategic Vision for Water Supply Sustainability. It comprised two tracts: the first focused on a stakeholder driver analysis of the 22 Planning Areas; the second was the Governor's Water Augmentation Council (GWAC), which investigated water conservation, augmentation and infrastructure improvement strategies for the State.
