What they did in Central Arizona to the Farmers was to stop them from irrigating land with well water. The water table dropped from 300ft average in 1985 to 400ft average in 1995. Were now back to hitting domestic wells in the 300ft range.

They lent the farmers money and installed a 300 mile main cannel from the Colorado river South. Expensive water for the farmers and they have to pay for the water weather they use it or not.

That forced several thousand acers of prime farm land to sell out for the track homes near Phoenix. Tribal land surrounds the the prime Farm land and butts up too S. Phoenix. That means any expansion of S. Phoenix has to jump over the tribal land into the prime farm land area.

Domestic well water for human consumtion, they limited well output to 35gpm maximum and raised the detectable minerals to where most wells can't pass without water treatment. Now most community wells just lable the well domestic animal use to keep from having treat the water.

They send a State Water Board guy around each year for a suprise well inspection. I've seen him use a clamp on ampmeter to tell GPM output. I just hope they don't think of using water meters here.
