PHOENIX — The pursuit of water conservation in Arizona is turning into a battle between the interests of cities versus agriculture.
In May, Governor Katie Hobbs convened the first meeting of the Water Policy Council. It's a bi-partisan and wide-ranging group tasked with developing water policy for the state in a time of drought and growth.
