The 1980 Arizona Groundwater Code recognized the need to aggressively manage the state’s finite groundwater resources to support the growing economy. Areas with heavy reliance on mined groundwater were identified and designated as Active Management Areas. The five AMAs (Prescott, Phoenix, Pinal, Tucson, and Santa Cruz) are subject to regulation pursuant to the Groundwater Code. This data is a query from ADWR's groundwater basin feature class to create AMA boundaries. According to ARS 45-402(13), "groundwater basin" means an area which, as nearly as known facts permit as determined by the director pursuant to this chapter, may be designated so as to enclose a relatively hydrologically distinct body or related bodies of groundwater, which shall be described horizontally by surface description.

11	Buckeye Water Logged Area	Hydrography	symbolized	ADWR	ADWR, Buckeye Waterlogged Area, Buckeye Irrigation Company	This shapefile is the polygon depicting the Buckeye waterlogged area. As much as 30,000 acre-feet of groundwater per year is pumped by Buckeye Irrigation Company from dewatering wells located in the Buckeye Waterlogged Area to allow crops to be grown.	Without this pumping, the groundwater table would rise to within a few feet of the ground surface, fields would not drain, and traditional crops could not be grown. Water pumped from the dewatering wells is currently discharged and not used for beneficial purposes because it is high in total dissolved solid (TDS) concentrations and unsuitable for potable uses or landscape irrigation. The treatment of high TDS water wastes about 25% of the water and produces a brine concentrate which must be disposed of. Future technological advances are expected to provide a cost effective method to reduce TDS while also reducing water waste and brine disposal challenges (one brine disposal option could include irrigation of a variety of turfgrass which can tolerate TDS concentrations up to 15,000 parts per million). If the high TDS dewatering water can be treated at a reasonable cost it could provide an additional water source to reduce the use of groundwater and CAP water. The Town is committed to working with Buckeye Irrigation Company to explore how the dewatering water can be acquired by the Town and utilized as a new source of water to reduce the use of groundwater and CAP water.

For groundwater recharging efforts, the CSIF allows CAP water to be delivered to recharge facilities via SRP infrastructure. The CSIF is located on the Hayden-Rhodes aqueduct of the CAP canal at the Granite Reef Dam. The interconnection facility provides the physical ability for the diversion of CAP water into the SRP water delivery system. The SCIF (SRP-CAP Interconnect Facility) is a proposed project to connect SRP's South Canal with the CAP canal at Granite Reef Dam by adding a pumping station and an underground pipeline located next to the existing interconnection facility, the CSIF. When built, the SCIF will allow for direct and indirect delivery of New Conservation Space (NCS) water to CAP customers through CAP systems, and will allow for CAP long-term storage credit (LTSC) water to be stored in SRP boundaries, recovered by SRP wells, and delivered to CAP customers through the CAP canal.

The canals are the transmission system for water deliveries from Granite Reef dam to the City Water Treatment Plants and to laterals which provide irrigation water to individual customers. The canals feature is used for engineering models, accounting for plant assets, and maps. The nine canals that make up the Valley's canal system were developed over the past 100 years. Each canal has a unique history and service area. In addition to the main canals, the Valley is home to 924 miles of 'laterals,' ditches that take water from the large canals to various delivery points in irrigated areas. Water is routed into and through these laterals by a series of turnout gates. Residential irrigation customers take their water entitlement at regularly scheduled intervals throughout the year by opening valves that release water onto their property for specific time periods. Most laterals north of the Salt River in urban areas are underground. Many of the laterals that take water from canals in agricultural areas south of the river are open ditches.

The line feature represents estimated depth to bedrock contours for the state of Arizona according to AZGS report, "Estimated Depth to Bedrock in Arizona, v 1.0." From the report: Except for depths based on bedrock penetrations reported in bore holes, determination of depth to bedrock is based on interpretation of geophysical data, and solutions for bedrock depth are in general poorly constrained. The definition of 'bedrock' is subject to interpretation. These contours should be considered qualitative. Horizontal accuracy of depth to bedrock contours cannot be rigorously quantified, but is estimated to be in the range of +/- 1-3 km. Depth estimates are poorly constrained and should be considered highly uncertain, in the range of +/- 20-30 percent, except in the vicinity of wells penetrating bedrock. Depths are reported and contoured in feet, following common practice in virtually all of the available source data.

Intermittent means a surface water or portion of surface water that flows continuously only at certain times of the year and more than in direct response to precipitation, such as when it receives water from a spring, elevated groundwater table or another surface source, such as melting snowpack. Ephemeral means a surface water or portion of surface water that flows or pools only in direct response to precipitation.

For the purpose of this directory, an active mine is defined as a mine in continuous operation, either in production or under full-time development for production. It is acknowledged that the there are additional mines not listed that are in an exploration, evaluation, or part-time development phase. Other mines where production is intermittent are not listed. The directory is compiled from a much larger database from the Arizona State Mine Inspector’s Office. Staff and budget restrictions prevent the Arizona Geological Survey from visiting the operations listed. The locations were checked using available aerial imagery to confirm location information and mining activity, with two caveats: 1) resolution of imagery varies across the state to some degree, making it difficult to recognize activity; and 2) some areas lack recent imagery, leading to the impression of no recent operations.

Potential Underground Storage Facilities (USFs) located along streams that cross State Land parcels that overlie basin-fill or local alluvial stream deposits were evaluated on a statewide basis. In some cases, factors such as proximity of potential sites to potential places of recovery and use and/or multiplicity of potential sites located on the same stream were used to eliminate isolated or potentially redundant sites. Sites located along canals, near the Colorado River and in areas with many existing USF sites were also eliminated. Initially, ADWR identified 331 potential Underground Storage sites (Figure 2). ADWR made no prioritization of potential storage sites with relative locations regarding locations within or outside Active Management Areas (AMAs) or Irrigation Non-Expansion Areas (INAs) as protections for such stored water is limited in either location. However, ASLD prioritized preferred locations to within AMAs and INAs as they felt it provided greater protections to State Land requirements. **Additional criteria listed in source documentation: "Potential Water Strorage Sites on Arizona State Trust Land"	ADWR, ASLD	ADWR: This analysis is a preliminary identification of potentially acceptable sites.

An Underground Storage Facility (USF) Permit(A.R.S. § 45-811.01) allows the permit holder to operate a facility that stores water in the aquifer. The criteria a USF must meet in order to be permitted include: 1. The project must be hydrologically feasible 2. The applicant must demonstrate financial and technical capability 3. The applicant must agree in writing to obtain any required floodplain use permit from the county flood control district before beginning any construction activities 4. The project may not cause unreasonable harm to land or other water users within the area of impact 5. The project will continue to be monitored to ensure storage does not cause the migration of poor quality water. A Managed Underground Storage Facility Permit allows for water to be discharged to a naturally water-transmissive area such as a streambed that allows the water to percolate into the aquifer without the assistance of a constructed device.

The Wells 55 Registry database contains different well types - Notices of Intent to Drill (NOI) (55-500000 and 55-200000, series), Electronic NOI (eNOI) (55-900000 series), registrations of existing wells (55-600000 and 55-800000 series), discovered unregistered wells (55-700000 series),and existing wells that are registered to be abandoned (55-400000 series). Background: ADWR has three groundwater well data sets for the state of Arizona. The first is the entire database, the 'Wells 55 Registry', which contains all wells registered in the state. The database was created in 1980 to store registration information submitted by well owners and drillers. It contains 200604 well records. The second data set is the Groundwater Well Site Inventory (GWSI), which is a statewide database that contains well locations, construction, and water level measurements for wells that have actually been located and sampled in the field originally by the USGS and since 1990 by ADWR. The GWSI database contains 44239 well records. Of those, 23150 have a 'Wells 55 Registry ID'. The third data set is the 'Wells 35 Registry', which has not been maintained since 1980, when the Wells 55 Registry was created.	No acknowledgements.

The PRISM Climate Group gathers climate observations from a wide range of monitoring networks, applies sophisticated quality control measures, and develops spatial climate datasets to reveal short- and long-term climate patterns. The resulting datasets incorporate a variety of modeling techniques and are available at multiple spatial/temporal resolutions, covering the period from 1895 to the present. The normals featured here are baseline datasets describing average monthly and annual conditions over the most recent three full decades. The current PRISM normals cover the period 1991-2020.
