Gov. Hobbs says AZ can manage water and growth

TUCSON, Ariz. — It’s no exaggeration to say water is life but even in the desert we may take it for granted. University of Arizona is a leader in water research.It has been hosting a conference this week where scientists are concentrating on making sure we have water far into the future. Governor Katie Hobbs spoke to the conference Wednesday morning.

Governor Hobbs talked about the challenge of negotiating with other states to preserve Arizona’s share of water from the Colorado River. “No other state has 100 year assured water supply. So when we released a report that says modeling shows that this area is short, by 4%. That means in 96 years, we'll run out of water but we have time to fix that.”
