Logo of Water - Use it wisely campaign


Although there was a higher than average rainfall in Phoenix during the summer of 2006, the monsoons followed the second driest winter on record on the watersheds that feed our reservoirs. All indications are that the more than decade-long pattern of below normal precipitation both locally and in the watersheds serving Phoenix will continue.

Despite these record drought conditions, Phoenix continues to maintain ample water supplies to meet the needs of its residents and the business community. Long–range planning, investments in water supply alternatives, and a history of successes in water conservation have allowed the city of Phoenix to weather this drought without resorting to mandatory water use restrictions or prohibitions. However, the city is prepared to establish such restrictions in future years if necessary. Though Phoenix has an adequate supply of water, residents and business owners are encouraged to become more aware of how continued drought conditions may affect them, and what they can be doing now to minimize future impacts.

This web site was developed to provide information on the current drought conditions relative to Phoenix and the region, and to engage residents and businesses in preparing for continuing drought. Long-range planning by the city together with “drought-wise” planning by Phoenix water users will go a long way in reducing the future impacts of continuing drought conditions.
