Arizona's land use and real estate questions have water law answers

Land-use and water attorneys Grady Gammage Jr. and Sean F. Krieg trace how Arizona's 1980 Groundwater Management Act tied the right to build to the right to water, and why that gate is straining under wildcat subdivisions, falling aquifers, and a shrinking Colorado River. The question was never whether Arizona grows, they write, but whether water gets priced honestly into the math.
