The resolution proposes a measure related to groundwater management in Arizona, which will be submitted to voters for approval. It seeks to amend Section 45-576.05 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, focusing on the criteria for determining the consistency of water use with management goals in groundwater replenishment districts. The amendment outlines the conditions under which a groundwater replenishment district member's designation as having an assured water supply may be terminated if certain criteria are not met, and specifies the factors the director must consider when evaluating a district member's projected water use.
If approved by voters, the resolution will empower the director to assess the projected supplies of surface water, effluent, and groundwater, as well as the amounts in long-term storage accounts, to ensure compliance with management goals. The Secretary of State is tasked with submitting this proposition to the electorate during the next general election, as mandated by the Arizona Constitution.
