Where are they imagining they are going to get the water?
"Development requires water. Buckeye, seeing and often inviting the
growth coming its way, recently completed its own water study.
"Part of the town sits on the Hassayampa River aquifer. The aquifer
holds enough for Buckeye's new developments to have water for the
state-mandated 100 years as long as builders recharge as much water
as they pull from the ground, according to the two-year survey by
environmental engineering firm Brown and Caldwell.
"Developers also must pay the Central Arizona Project to recharge
water to meet those groundwater replenishment requirements. The plan
must be approved by the Arizona Department of Water Resources.
