Arizona Department of Water Resources

The Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) manages and oversees water use, planning, and regulation in Arizona. Its primary goal is to ensure the state's water supply is sustainable for communities, agriculture, and industry. ADWR tracks water sources, enforces laws, and implements policies to balance water demand with availability, especially in a region prone to drought and arid conditions. It also works on water conservation efforts, groundwater management, and long-term planning to support Arizona's growth while protecting vital water resources for future generations.
