City Faces New Hunt For Water
A ten year University of Arizona study warns Tucson’s present water sources cannot meet future growth. Groundwater is dropping up to feet annually with an estimated cushion of water at depth. The report suggests diverting agricultural water or finding new sources, including Sahuarita wells and possible Avra Valley prospects, plus potential San Pedro river water under the Central Arizona Project.

Finding the Water 1 Richard J Shaw measures 1500 wevel
Richard J Shaw reports on Tucson basin water supply issues. He reviews drilling records from about 1,300 wells, noting deeper wells yield poorer water due to shifting clay beds and high salt content. Eastern Park area wells yield best for home use, with softer water near 500 feet but limited quantity.
