Arizona HB2053 allocates $100,000 for updated stormwater recharge mapping by the Department of Water Resources.

Arizona HB2053 appropriates $100,000 from the state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Department of Water Resources. The funds are intended for creating an updated map of potential stormwater recharge sites in Arizona. These sites must be located on agricultural lands, have optimum soil conditions for stormwater infiltration and groundwater recharge, and not conflict with existing surface water rights. The map should also avoid streams or natural channels subject to water rights adjudications.
