Arizona announces limits on construction in Phoenix area as groundwater disappears

Arizona will no longer grant certifications for new developments in the Phoenix area due to a significant shortage of groundwater that cannot meet increased demand expected in the coming century.

Arizona is facing water shortages on multiple fronts, including groundwater overuse and a significant shortage of surface water allocation from the Colorado River that it shares with six other states.
