I must take exception to the Aug. 9 “Science and Sense” column by Kelly Kading. He presented information containing inaccuracies that are dispelled in a recent statewide water reliability report.

I am referring to the Arizona Tri-University Recharge and Water Reliability Project (ATUR) that just published a major report on water availability and options for recharge in Arizona. Read the report on the UofA Center for Climate Adaptation Science and Solutions website: https://ccass.arizona.edu/atur https://ccass.arizona.edu/atur .
