Arizona has a policy of maintaining 100+ years of water (and all new construction must demonstrate that). The phoenix metro area has the most responsible and thoughtful water management policies of any major american city and is a net contributor to ground water. What arizona gets from the colorado river is icing and a literal drop in it's well managed supplies.

Arizona was preparing for this possible outcome in the early 1980's. It's a total non event for the state.

Save your outrage for the cities on our coasts whose antiquated and poorly managed treatment systems dump millions of gallons of untreated sewage into our rivers and oceans.
