Water is Arizona’s most precious resource, yet few people know where their water comes from, who provides it, how its quality is assured, or how secure future water supplies are for the state’s 6 million residents.

Visit an ancient cienega with megafaunal remains, and learn how groundwater recharge has restored spring flow and more.
