Pima County’s Plan to Add Multiple Data Centers is Not Compatible with our Region’s Water Resilience
We, like many of you, try our best to make choices that contribute to a sustainable future for this gorgeous desert and the creatures, plants, and people who inhabit it – even when those choices cost us a bit of extra effort. At WMG, we call this living hydro-local, and we’re part of a broad movement to restore the health of our watershed, including raising our aquifer and restoring river flow. That’s why we fundamentally disagree with the Pima County Supervisors’ vote to approve Project Blue, which will sell 290 acres of public land to an out-of-state firm that plans to build up to ten water-guzzling data centers.
Discover this perennial stretch of the Santa Cruz River, sustained by upstream effluent flow release and soon to be enhanced with invasive species removal, wildlife ramps, and more by Pima County Flood Control.
Could you be the next Flow365 Monitor? The River Run Network is looking for passionate community members in Tucson and surrounding areas to help monitor flow in our creeks and rivers through our Flow365 Monitoring Program.
Learn how to calculate monthly water budgets, choose climate-appropriate plants, and size your basins and tanks to maximize every drop. This virtual workshop will give you the tools to design smarter, more resilient water harvesting systems.
