  • Agua Dulce Creek, at headwaters of the San Pedro River, Sonora, Mexico. The lessons of Rancho Los Fresnos and of other projects along the San Pedro are lessons that can translate to most any desert river system. Protect the watershed, focus on doable projects, involve land owners and users, preserve wildlife habitat and, wherever possible, find a way to keep at least a little water.

  • Kevin Hauser removes a rock from his sweet cornfield in Camp Verde.  Hauser farms about 1,200 acres along the Verde, on parcels strung out from Camp Verde all the way to Chino Valley.  He relies heavily on the river, taking water from the Eureka Ditch, one of the oldest irrigation systems still operating.  He has followed the arguments about drilling wells along the Verde and about habitat.  “A lot of people feel helpless about what to do,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s Prescott or a construction company pumping water ahead of you. You’ve always gotta be watching upstream.”

  • Raymond Knight works in the Grand Canyon during the week, helping with mule trains carrying supplies. On weekends, he hooks a trailer to his pick-up and carries water to family and friends. On one recent weekend, he ferried the tank back and forth between a ranch, where people had gathered to brand cattle.  “They use it up pretty fast,” he said. . Water haulers haul because the Navajo Nation lacks adequate, clean water and the infrastructure to deliver it. The reservation lies between three major rivers — the San Juan, the Colorado and the Little Colorado — but the tribe still relies mostly on groundwater. Drilling a well is easier and cheaper than building a pipeline.  Not all the wells produce usable water. Many dry up in a drought. Windmills break down, often for weeks at a time. As a result it's not uncommon for people to drive 30 miles or more to find water.
