Includes supplement: USGS insert prepared in cooperation with the Arizona Department of Water Resources, City of Tucson Water Department, Pima County, the Town of Oro Valley, and the Metropolitan Domestic Water Improvement District. "Land Subsidence and Aquifer Compaction in the Tucson Active Management Area, South-Central Arizona- 1987-2005" by R.L. Carruth, D.R. Pool, and C.E. Anderson. === Prescott Valley town officials are pleased with the results of an auction of 2,724 acre-feet of effluent water rights that could net the town over $67 million, funds the town will use to acquire needed water supplies for the rapidly growing area. The favorable results at auction have been attributed to the careful planning and calculated efforts that went into researching and structuring the unprecedented water marketing transaction. Developing the auction structure, terms and procedures required a special effort because there were no previous examples to use as a model; the town was breaking new ground.
