Water providers in Arizona have been recharging underground resources by dumping billions of gallons over dry desert.
"'We're just storing water here instead of Lake Mead, where Nevada or California could have access to it,' said Bruce Hallin, manager of water business development for SRP, which opened the first water bank 10 years ago this month. 'It lets Arizona use its allocation, and by storing it underground, we don't have all the evaporation.'"
