BA 100-year assured water supply before subdivisions can be approved, ensuring adequate long-term water availabilityCorrect

COnly that the development is connected to an existing municipal or private water system, without any requirement to demonstrate the adequacy of the water supply over time

DThat all landscaping within the development will be drought-tolerant and water-efficient, as certified by a registered landscape architect before the subdivision is approved

Why A 100-year assured water supply before subdivisions can be approved, ensuring adequate long-term water availability Is Correct

Answer B: A 100-year assured water supply before subdivisions can be approved, ensuring adequate long-term water availability

Arizona's Assured Water Supply program (administered by ADWR) requires new subdivisions in AMAs to demonstrate a 100-year assured water supply. This ensures that developers aren't creating communities that will run out of water.
