PHX is in better shape then a lot of places for water. The work SRP puts in to ensure that is really interesting (1, 2, 3) PHX actually gets water from 3 rivers (colorado, salt, and verde) as well as huge groundwater 'banks' (holding a multi year supply). We're also using less water per year due to conservation, etc. However, outside of PHX its a different story. Agriculture and 'urban sprawl' are rapidly depleting ground water. In summary, I guess I'm saying I have no qualms about water living in PHX...but I'd be really worried if I lived outside of PHX. Also, it really is fascinating how SRP manages it all... 1 https://www.srpnet.com/grid-water-management/water-management/where-water-from https://www.srpnet.com/grid-water-management/water-managemen... 2 https://www.srpnet.com/grid-water-management/water-management/water-resources https://www.srpnet.com/grid-water-management/water-managemen... 3 https://media.srpnet.com/srps-granite-reef-underground-storage-project-grusp-back-online-to-assist-with-drought/ https://media.srpnet.com/srps-granite-reef-underground-stora... edit: fix link formating
