What is the CAGRD?

The Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District (CAGRD) was established in 1993 by the state legislature to serve as a groundwater replenishment entity for its members. It provides a method for property owners and water providers to demonstrate a 100-year assured water supply under Arizona law by agreeing to have the CAGRD recharge amounts of groundwater that are over the usage limits established by the assured water supply rules.

The CAGRD is operated by the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD), which also oversees the Central Arizona Project. It is governed by the 15-member CAWCD Board of Directors but its finances are separate from CAWCD’s. The CAGRD includes three Active Management Areas (AMA) within Maricopa, Pima and Pinal counties.
