    Summary

    The Arizona Water Protection Fund (AWPF) is a competitive state grant program that provides funding to interested parties for the development and implementation of measures to protect water of sufficient quality and quantity to maintain, enhance and restore river and riparian resources throughout Arizona (including projects that benefit fish and wildlife that are dependent on these important resources), and measures to increase water availability and supply.

    • Provide positive, effective examples for other similar projects.
    • Advance the field of water conservation knowledge in Arizona.
    • Increase public awareness of the function and value of riparian resources in Arizona.
