In January 1999, the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) declared
that the Prescott Active Management Area, which includes Prescott, Prescott
Valley, Chino Valley, Dewey Humboldt and unincorporated areas, was not at
safe-yield and in an overdraft condition. The Big Chino aquifer to the north of the Prescott area supplies 80 to 86 percent of the baseflow of the Upper Verde River. Expected large scale population growth and increased water demands on the Big Chino aquifer threaten the existence of the Upper Verde River. In recognition that water is a limited resource, the Citizens Water Advocacy Group (CWAG) promotes a sustainable water future in the Upper Verde River Basin and the Prescott Active Management Area by educating the public, encouraging citizen action, and advocating for responsible governmental decision-making. Join Us! Membership Application, Help Educate the Public, or Make a Donation We encourage your questions, concerns and comments about water issues.
