Four rural Arizona county supervisors are asking for more regulation when it comes to pumping rural groundwater.

Most of rural Arizona ’s groundwater lies outside of an Active Management Area or an Irrigation Non-Expansion Area , meaning the water supply is neither monitored nor regulated.

The biggest draw on rural basins is agriculture as commercial farming is one of the biggest economic drivers in those communities.

Governor says she is "prepared to take action to protect Arizona ’s water and prevent further devastating consequences” Gillette said he fears that if the Governor did take executive action, she would establish AMAs in rural Arizona - something that many locals have spoken out against.
