"A change in Arizona water law will let farmers and ranchers conserve water without worrying about losing their rights to it in the future," reports Ariana Brocious.
"A bill signed last week by Governor Doug Ducey allows for water users to enter into a voluntary conservation plan with the Arizona Department of Water Resources that keeps their water right protected. Users can conserve water for up to 10 years without losing their rights."
