Program Development and Studies throughout Arizona

The Program Development Division of the Phoenix Area Office is responsible for water resource planning activities within its geographical area of responsibility throughout Arizona .

The Program Development Division works with communities, organizations, and states to assist them in the planning process; conducts general investigations, appraisal and feasibility studies; can provide technical assistance to states; and investigates opportunities for reuse of wastewater.
