Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) recently floated a proposal to change the formula is uses to grant groundwater credits to entities that artificially recharge renewable water into aquifers as a way to permit additional groundwater pumping. The state recharge program is a somewhat complicated scheme that I can't explain in detail right here, but you can get lots of other information at ADWR's website here. This proposal is being made as part of the 4th Management Plan process - a once-a-decade planning exercise that is intended to get Arizona's Active Management Areas to Safe Yield by 2025.
The gist of the proposal is that it would reward entities that locate their recharging activities closer to where they are actually pumping out groundwater. A worthwhile endeavor to be sure.

Making some changes
I'm trying to play around with the design within the confines of Blogger. I'm not convinced I like the result and might consider moving to a different platform. If any of my 3 or 4 readers has an opinion I'd appreciate if you let me know. And if you have a favorite blogging platform that I should check out let me know about that too.
