Is Tucson Running out of Water? | Tucson Water Resources
We get quite a few people asking us if Tucson is going to run out of water. I usually respond with something like, “Have you been to Tucson lately, there isn’t any water here, even the mosquitoes carry bottled water.” We do have some mosquitoes this year because of the good monsoon.
