Interbasin groundwater transfers are a strategy to obtain additional water supplies in parts of the state with inadequate water resources. It is a strategy, however, fraught with legal obstacles in Arizona due to passage of the 1991 Groundwater Transportation Act and subsequent amendments. Passed in response to rural concerns, the GTA essentially prohibits the transfer of groundwater from one hydrologic basin in the state to another.
