Ponderosa forests struggle in the face of Southwest megadrought

June 7, 2023

The ponderosa pine is one of the most ubiquitous conifer species in western North America. In the American Southwest, winter snowmelt and summer rains play a critical role in ponderosa forests' survival, but the 23-year megadrought may have these semi-arid trees at the end of their rope, according to new research by UArizona scientists.

Colorado River deal offers chance for big picture planning

May 24, 2023

This week's deal on how to share the Colorado River's water relies heavily on cuts to the agricultural sector, which is responsible for 80% of the region's water use. "Water is a valuable asset, and I think people are nervous about parting with it, because it kind of suggests that you don’t really need it after all," said University of Arizona extension specialist George Frisvold, earlier this week. "I think there's real concern that this is voluntary now, but it could come back and bite you."

"What I think is important is that we create political arenas where tribes have equal voice with states," said said Andrew Curley an assistant professor of geography and development and American Indian studies at the University of Arizona. "My only fear is — and I think this is the fear of many tribal leaders — is that there’s going to be less water to negotiate with."
