Welcome to Citizens Water Advocacy Group
Founded in 2002, the Citizens Water Advocacy Group (CWAG) is a local science-based citizens group dedicated to working for a sustainable water future for the Prescott Active Management Area and to protecting the upper Verde River. We see two fundamental challenges to sustainable water management:
• Our water supply is dependent on groundwater; we are depleting our groundwater reserves because we are pumping too much.
• Excessive groundwater pumping and climate change are reducing the flow of the upper Verde River.
