NEW BLOG: Lawsuits only further complicate Arizona’s water challenges There are now two lawsuits against the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR).

The second would prevent homebuilding from restarting, where it has been halted due to groundwater concerns. In the end, both lawsuits pose threats to Arizona’s water and housing future. https://lnkd.in/g4zvC9YB

NEW BLOG: Communities should determine water-saving landscapes for new developments This week, state senators will consider Senate Bill 1523, which would prohibit municipalities from requiring a minimum number of trees, shrubs, ground cover, and open spaces—including parks—for new subdivisions and other developments.
