We need to remember that there are areas of the state that are still dry and need the rain. We should also be reminded that the southwestern region of the United States is arid, and water planning and conservation don’t come to a halt with the rain; we are just entering the next drought. While we are having lots of rain and the reservoirs are full, we can’t return to our previous wasteful ways. Many of our drought contingency requirements may be relaxed; however, we can’t relax too much because we know that another drought may be on the way, and with the influx of residents to the state, water planning and conservation will be essential to addressing those increasing demands.
