History

The Arizona Water Protection Fund (AWPF) provides grants to development and implement projects that protect water of sufficient quality and quantity to maintain, enhance and restore rivers, streams and associated riparian habitats. Public and private entities that participate in water resource management activities in cooperation with local residents and jurisdictions may receive these grants (A.R.S. § 45-2101). The AWPF consists of legislative appropriations and revenue from Central Arizona Project water purchases and leases (A.R.S. § 45-2112).

The Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission administers the AWPF and receives administrative, technical and legal support from the Arizona Department of Water Resources (A.R.S. § 45-2111 and A.R.S. § 45-2114).
