I'm a bit surprised there wasn't a mention of the PFAS contaminate in aquifers near DMAF. It's one reason I would never consider purchasing a home in the affected areas. Worth a look into researching. It was in the news again just a few months ago after TW shut down some water stations over it. Although, it's been covered in the news for years.
Thanks for the view and comment! The city and state have a lot of recycling programs that people can be a part of! Great education provided by those groups too! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Being a guest I always notice that in the hotel rooms they ask if you wish to have your linens or towels washed , changed due to wanting to conserve water. Also I've heard something about the amount of snow in the mountains effecting water.
People in some cities in arizona sale your homes soon n get your money from them, cause this water shortage is serious in Az, pine n strawberry ran out of water I was in wilhoit n kirkland in oct 2022 n one well their went dry n that housing area had to use the other well in the other area there, they might run out of water also, those 2 places are small n below prescott If you dont sale your homes n get your money back in them n your area runs out of water your homes wont be worth much In foothills in scottsdale area they are running out of water n those homes wont be worth much If you going to live in Az in some areas just rent a place or camp out If this water shortage gets to serious by then it will be to late to get your money from your home Be ready to move out of Az also if water shortage gets to serious Then theres the electricity problem maybe, if hoover dam gets to low well their might be power problems for Az n other states
Thanks for rich informative video. I personally qualuified as Doctorate (Hydrogeologist, Water Rsources Manager and Planner) from US-Pak Water Center. During visit USA; I visited Hoover Dam which is amazing adventure of America. I want to hear more from you on this water issue and needs material to read.
Thanks for checking out the channel! Yes, the Hoover Dam is an amazing place with so much rich history! I would love to hear your thoughts about this subject, and learn more about your input regarding water and drought in Tucson and Arizona as well! Thank you again for your view and comment!
good info but its what they dont tell us that's most "interesting". dive deeper for "the rest of the story"; they've been purposely discharging all the wests reservoirs and ground water tanks in Tucson etc under various bogus excuses, ex. the millioms of acre feet dumped into the ocean to save the Delta "smelt", and cloud seeding where its not needed, pumping ground water to feed Saudi dairy cattle etc...research a little beyond screwgle....NOT drought. look at Texas' many weather modification associations....the California insider yt channel, for the easiest starts...need to know how to deep research, non Screwgle source to find mountains more proof
Thank you, to you and your husband, Kimberly. Seems like a lot of people who have moved to Arizona, mostly to the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas, need to be educated about water conservation and the desert regions of Arizona are nothing like places they moved from, such as Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Washington, and Oregon. I hope a lot of new Tucson and Phoenix area residents have watched this video to give them a warning about droughts and what can happen when everyone is not careful with water usage.
I love that you were raised to conserve water! And, yes, Tucson Water has made great strides in water conservation (they offer a generous rebate on rainwater harvesting cisterns, water barrels), but after attending water conferences, I believe they underestimated the impact of climate change on our water supply. We are in the midst of a 27+ year drought that has gotten worse due to climate change. Most of our water comes from the Colorado River and we share it with 7 states and Mexico. It has been over allocated. Lake Mead and Lake Powell where we store our CAP are at record lows. There are lots of news articles about our current water shortage. The Governor wants to spend a billion dollars to bring water from other places. Yet people are still wasting water. If you are coming here from other places that have plenty of water, please, be mindful that you are in a desert. Please, don't put in grass that needs to be watered or your favorite high water tree from back home. Please, plant low-water desert trees or heritage fruit trees. Find out how much water they use. Put in rainwater harvesting basins to save water. Enjoy our desert lifestyle!
I completely agree with everything you said here! I made this video a while ago and it is kind of out of date and I’m planning a new updated water and drought video coming up soon… I will basically be reiterating everything you said in this comment 👍 thanks for checking out the channel and for conserving desert water!!! 💦
Not really…yet… most of my clients are moving here from other places (I primarily work with relocation buyers), and I don’t think most have experienced drought. I should do a video on rain-harvesting systems. Then I probably would get some interested buyers! 😁
@@TucsonArizona That would be awesome! I am currently working on a website for newcomers on how to acclimate to living in the desert and live a desert adapted lifestyle.
I think I saw something saying that in 2023, Arizona's access to the Colorado River will be cut off. Am I wrong? Also, may be moving to Tucson due to rising prices near Phoenix 🥲
Watershed management and Brad Lancaster have a lot of great resources for water harvesting. You can reduce your water consumption and add trees to your property. More trees, more shade will keep your home cooler.
Thanks for mentioning this. It was only after I finished the video that I realized I should have mentioned having a water softener. Many people have one. Thanks for the view and comment! 😄👍
May want to reconsider using a RO system,for every gallon ran through your faucet, the system may have filtered three gallons to get one, therefore wasting more water.
Thanks for checking out the channel. I have a video out about water and drought in Tucson, although I need to update it because it was made many months ago. Thanks for the view and comment!
No, just Tucson ans the surrounding areas (southern Arizona primarily: Pima county). But I have realtor friends in Phoenix if you need their names if you want to touch base with any of them?
@@TucsonArizona ---- Thank you so much, actually and humbly, I'm fairly new to RUclips but our RE team is one of the top in the Valley annually. Feel free to check or channel or us out. Have a BEAUTIFUL day. -Shawn. PS: We are always looking for solid agents to send referrals too ;-) It's all about TEAMWORK.
Your local government wants to authorized "Auxiliary Housing Units" at pretty much every residence... Gee, DOUBLE the demand on every resource... What could go wrong with that?
Definitely learned some new things! I think you guys get more water than we do here in norcal east bay. I saw it was raining in Tucson yesterday. Not a drop of rain here in months.
Thanks for the view and comment. Just want to clarify, I am not a water specialist by any means but I made this video because I get a lot of questions about water and drought. I talk in the video about how both Arizona and the Colorado River are in a drought so I definitely don’t think we’re A-okay, but the state and city have a lot of drought preparedness plans in place and I wanted to discuss those in the video, as well as plans for the future and how changes in water conservation are making a difference. However, I always think that we as Arizonans can be doing more- and should be doing more- and I absolutely think anyone moving here who is concerned in any way about water and drought should do their own research before coming here. As a born and raised Tucsonan, I believe water conservation needs to be a way of life for all of us. I really hope that that came out in the video, because honestly that was my main goal. Thanks for checking out the channel! 💦🌵✌️
@@TucsonArizona Talking about how much money they have spent does not get to the root issues. How are the water level in the aquifers? Everything else is smoke and mirrors. Tucson does not get the daily monsoon's I remember as a young adult.

A lot of good info. Ive been here since 66. You didnt mention the citys/countys water recycling program. Good presentations
Thanks for the view and comment! The city and state have a lot of recycling programs that people can be a part of! Great education provided by those groups too! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Yes every year our mountains get a decent amount of snow that becomes run off down the mountains, but some winters we get more snow than others
thanks very important cfc
I agree!
People in some cities in arizona sale your homes soon n get your money from them, cause this water shortage is serious in Az, pine n strawberry ran out of water
I was in wilhoit n kirkland in oct 2022 n one well their went dry n that housing area had to use the other well in the other area there, they might run out of water also, those 2 places are small n below prescott
If you dont sale your homes n get your money back in them n your area runs out of water your homes wont be worth much
In foothills in scottsdale area they are running out of water n those homes wont be worth much
If you going to live in Az in some areas just rent a place or camp out
If this water shortage gets to serious by then it will be to late to get your money from your home
Be ready to move out of Az also if water shortage gets to serious
Then theres the electricity problem maybe, if hoover dam gets to low well their might be power problems for Az n other states

Kari Lake had a plan. Now you get Hobbs and renewable energy to drink.

@@TucsonArizona Say, have you found that there are clients who are looking for rainwater harvesting features in their new home?
Not really…yet… most of my clients are moving here from other places (I primarily work with relocation buyers), and I don’t think most have experienced drought. I should do a video on rain-harvesting systems. Then I probably would get some interested buyers! 😁
@@TucsonArizona That would be awesome! I am currently working on a website for newcomers on how to acclimate to living in the desert and live a desert adapted lifestyle.
That’s cool! Great idea!
This video is making me thirsty.
That was pretty much my goal for this video 💦
I think I saw something saying that in 2023, Arizona's access to the Colorado River will be cut off. Am I wrong? Also, may be moving to Tucson due to rising prices near Phoenix 🥲
I don’t know all the details but I think Arizona is losing about 18% to 20% of its allocation from the Colorado River starting in 2022.
Phoenix is in a worse position in terms of water than Tucson is.
@@uteruspower1862 really? How so? (I like your name lol)
@@uteruspower1862 that is not accurate. Central AZ because of the salt River project and other aquifers phenix is positioned 2nd only to Prescott.
Watershed management and Brad Lancaster have a lot of great resources for water harvesting. You can reduce your water consumption and add trees to your property. More trees, more shade will keep your home cooler.
Thanks so much for sharing! Great tips!
Nice video! Water is important!
Absolutely it is! Thanks for the view and comment!
If we get rid of car washes we can save a lot of water.
Such wise words
How about some dirt on everything from the blowers?
Is there such thing as a wet desert? Ah nope!
Haha…only during our monsoon storms! 😂
Speaking of hard water. When I lived in Tucson we had a whole house water softener.
Thanks for mentioning this. It was only after I finished the video that I realized I should have mentioned having a water softener. Many people have one. Thanks for the view and comment! 😄👍
May want to reconsider using a RO system,for every gallon ran through your faucet, the system may have filtered three gallons to get one, therefore wasting more water.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve read that some systems waste significantly less than others.
I'm with Nick on this 100% , and people are going to get mighty thirsty in the not so distant future.
Thanks for checking out the channel. I have a video out about water and drought in Tucson, although I need to update it because it was made many months ago. Thanks for the view and comment!
Good stuff --- Keep it coming.
Thanks so much! Glad you like it! I will keep it coming! 😁❤️
@@TucsonArizona --- You're very welcome. Would love to pick your Tucson real estate brain. Do you work the Phoenix area?
No, just Tucson ans the surrounding areas (southern Arizona primarily: Pima county). But I have realtor friends in Phoenix if you need their names if you want to touch base with any of them?

Your local government wants to authorized "Auxiliary Housing Units" at pretty much every residence... Gee, DOUBLE the demand on every resource... What could go wrong with that?
Thanks for answering my question! I really appreciate you looking all of this up for me.
My pleasure! I learned a lot when I was researching all of this!
What an informative video!
Thank you! Many people make comments on this channel about Tucson’s water situation, so hopefully this clears some things up!
Which is rare on RUclips
Definitely learned some new things! I think you guys get more water than we do here in norcal east bay. I saw it was raining in Tucson yesterday. Not a drop of rain here in months.
We’ve had some awesome monsoons this summer 😁💦
@@TucsonArizona love all of your videos!
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me! I really hope people learn things from these videos- good or bad about the city 😎
Thanks for all the great information!!

Thanks for addressing this topic. Great info here!
Thanks for checking out the video! I get so many questions about the topic, I had to address them! 😎 I appreciate the feedback!
Hey, you all are in a desert! Stop moving into that area.
Really? A Tucson real estate agent thinks that Tucson's water situation is A-okay.
No conflict of interest there 🧼👏
Actually there isn’t a conflict of interest, unless the real estate agent has an official directive capacity when it comes to the water supply.

I have yet to hear any realtor in the southwest explain to me how a region with no water has rising prices.
