// Strategic Significance
Tucson Water Department serves 750,000 residents in a desert environment increasingly threatened by Colorado River water shortages and groundwater depletion. Tucson receives Colorado River water through the Central Arizona Project canal and has invested heavily in aquifer storage and recovery to bank water during wet years. PFAS contamination from nearby Davis-Monthan Air Force Base has contaminated some Tucson groundwater wells. Extreme heat creates massive water demand.
