Bill overview
This bill regulates groundwater withdrawals in Arizona’s irrigation non-expansion areas. It limits groundwater use to land that was irrigated between 1975 and 1980, or land that has received substantial investment for irrigation improvements before 1980. The bill establishes a maximum withdrawal of six acre-feet per acre of irrigated land and includes provisions for reporting groundwater usage and penalties for exceeding the limits. It also addresses the ability to substitute irrigated acres with new well locations while preventing net increases in groundwater withdrawals.
