Arizonas Water Wars: Rural Leaders vs. Urban Needs - Two bills in the Arizona Legislature aim to transport and sell groundwater from rural western areas to growing cities like Phoenix, targeting the McMullen Valley and Butler Valley basins. Rural leaders argue this favors urban needs over local growth and lets outside investors rewrite state rules. Sponsor Representative Gail Griffin counters that Colorado River shortages make this water a vital backup set aside in the nineteen nineties for emergencies. The bills build on nineteen ninety-one laws with strict limits and fees benefiting local counties, while separate measures protect residents and could extend the aquifers life.
