Will We Have Enough Water for the Future?

Here’s One Way We’re Finding Answers

Here is a look at the tools and methods that Tucson Water used to complete its Long Range Water Plan. This plan looks ahead 50 years to what Tucson will be like, how much water we'll need, where that water will come from, and what the quality of that water will be.

Planning the water supply for the Tucson of 2050 is a complicated and highly technical project. It requires specialized computer programs and financial studies to produce a plan that is both flexible and comprehensive. We're not just looking at the water resources we'll need. Tucson Water is also determining the capital improvements that might be required to treat and deliver that water and at the best ways to pay for these improvements.
