One seriously overlooked resource is the Arizona Drought Preparedness Annual Report, published each year by ADWR in collaboration with the Drought Monitoring Technical Committee, the Drought Interagency Coordinating Group, and the Local Drought Impact Groups.

A virtual Farmers Almanac of drought data published annually since 2006, the Annual Report summarizes Arizona’s short and long-term drought status for the most recent water-year and projects an outlook for the next water-year.

The Annual Report’s editor is Némesis Ortiz-Declet, who also serves as ADWR’s Drought and Conservation Programs Coordinator. Némesis took time recently to chat with Arizona Water News for this podcast describing exactly what goes into producing this great drought resource.
