Rapid growth in Arizona's suburbs bets against an uncertain water supply

[in2herbs]

1. In my AZ town, development is approved without regard to whether water will be available. The

thought behind this political decision brings in some development $$$ right away and delays the reality of how the town will address the lack of water to supply to these new homes/businesses should most or all of the development that has been approved decide to build all at the same time. What is further frustrating is that the water tier designation assigned to us by AZ puts us dead last in water allocation. All of this is not surprising really. This is a conservative town and thus no one knows how to think of "tomorrow" as all critical thinking skills are absent.
