Arizona Drought Planning

Project Status
Ongoing

The most recent long-term drought in Arizona started in the mid to late 1990s and is still prevailing today. The Arizona Department of Water Resources oversees drought planning in the state by coordinating the activities of the state’s drought working groups—the Arizona Drought Monitoring Technical Committee, Drought Interagency Coordinating Group, and Local Drought Impact Groups. These groups work towards improving understanding of drought impacts and identifying mechanisms for limiting future vulnerability to drought in the state.
