PHOENIX — Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has signed legislation that will provide $1.2 billion over three years to boost long-term water supplies for the desert state and implement conservation efforts that will see more immediate effects.
“These challenges made it necessary for us to act,” the Republican governor said at a signing ceremony in the historic Capitol rotunda. “So today we are taking action to do what the men and women of Arizona hired us to do — position our state for success today, tomorrow and for generations to come.” Democrats got majority Republicans and the governor to agree to add $200 million for conservation; money that can be used right away for both agricultural efficiency and to cut water use in urban areas.
The longer-term investments range from pie in the sky to conservative. They include a canal and pipeline to move floodwaters from eastern Kansas to southern Colorado and into watersheds that end up in Arizona and a nascent plan to help fund a Southern California effort to treat wastewater and trade it for some of that state's river supply.
