I’m sure by now you feel like you are drowning in posts about Tucson water. Fear not, this is the last and it is short. But we shouldn’t forget about it. Water is a precious resource and if we manage the rainwater harvest and conserve usage with management and moderation there can once again be flowing wells in Flowing Wells.
This post is mostly a list of documents and links to resources about conserving water and water usage in the desert.
The monthly Tucson water department has a pretty good little newsletter it puts out each month with news tips and workshops in the community about water. The current April 2007 issue of Your Water Connection is provided here.
A great page of resources provided by the Tucson Water Dept.
