Groundwater Policy Statement
- Water for Arizona – a statewide coalition supported by Environmental Defense Action Fund, Audubon, American Rivers, and others.
- Cochise Groundwater Stewards – a citizen’s organization in the Sulphur Springs Valley fighting to strengthen groundwater protections.
For high quality, in-depth investigative reporting on water resources and groundwater depletion in Arizona, including several focused on articles about Cochise County, see the stories by Ian James of the Arizona Republic.
Additional non-advocacy resources with reliable facts about groundwater in Arizona include:
- The University of Arizona’s Water Resources Research Center, especially their county Factsheets.
- The Arizona Department of Water Resources, especially their overview of the 1980 AZ Groundwater Management Act and their detailed 2023 reports on water supply and demand in the Douglas and Willcox areas.
CRC pledges to advocate for sensible water policy when appropriate and to inform membership as developments occur.
