This presentation is an opportunity for Prescott Valley citizens to learn the facts about the role water will play in PV’s growth in the years ahead. The presentation, hosted by the Citizens Water Advocacy Group (CWAG), is the second in a series that describes, in plain English, the scientific evidence about our limited water resource.

Gary Beverly, PhD, reviewed how increased pumping is lowering water levels and reducing our aquifer’s water supply. He then untangled the legal regulations related to water and other factors that are limiting PV’s growth objectives. Finally, Dr. Beverly showed how PV’s current water conservation and other efforts, while a good start, are inadequate to both protect our water supply and meet the town’s growth plans. Participants presented their questions and concerns about water for the Q&A session that followed the presentation.

During his presentation, Gary mentioned the website Protect the Upper Verde River!
