New (massive) housing developments in Phoenix are having to scale back the number of homes planned because they can't guarantee a reliable source of water. And no grass allowed in the front yard. Thousands of homes are planned to be built using groundwater as their source. Tables are already dropping. The shortsightedness is incredible.
In Rio Verde Foothills North of Scottsdale, the residents have been told to find their own source of water - drill or have it hauled in. Some are drilling and not hitting water. Their source, which has been the town of Scottsdale, told them no more water after January 1st, 2023.
Things will get interesting in the next few years, I'm glad I don't live in Phoenix anymore.

Interesting how dry Phoenix is. Three hours south, and we've been getting record rainfall the past 3 years. Normally, our vegetation is brown most of the year, and greens up during monsoons. We've been staying mostly green. It's really quite strange.
