12:00 p.m. - 1:00  p.m. Arizona Water Blueprint Office Hours: From Copper, Cattle and Cotton to Chips and Cloud Computing: Large Water Uses in Central Arizona As concerns grow about water use in a desert environment, data centers and other large water users have drawn increasing public attention in Central Arizona. The Kyl Center's new paper examines large water uses across economic sectors and places data center demand in context alongside agriculture, turf and landscaping, power generation and other long-standing urban uses. Kyl Center staff will discuss their latest paper, "From Copper, Cattle and Cotton to Chips and Cloud Computing: Large Water Uses in Central Arizona,” and answer your questions. Read the paper HERE to learn how much water different sectors use, the sources of that water and what these comparisons mean for managing water sustainably as Arizona’s economy continues to evolve.  Register for the presentation HERE: LOCATION: Zoom only
