Bill overview
This bill modifies Arizona’s groundwater regulations to clarify the rights of landowners with existing irrigation grandfathered rights in active management areas. It allows these landowners to continue withdrawing up to ten acre-feet per year of groundwater for domestic purposes or stockwatering livestock, provided that the groundwater use was previously established for those purposes before the active management area was designated. The bill also outlines specific rules regarding the location and measurement of this groundwater use, and how it relates to overall groundwater management plans.
