Improving Arizona’s water infrastructure to combat drought
May 8
Almost all of Arizona is currently under a drought condition. Some cities are asking residents to conserve water. Water infrastructure for cities encompasses all the systems that move, store, treat, and dispose of water within a city.
This includes everything from drinking water supply systems and wastewater management to stormwater drainage and flood control. Essentially, it’s the network of pipes, dams, treatment plants, and other facilities that ensure clean water for consumption and disposal of wastewater.
