Submitted Abstract:
The purpose of this visualization is to demonstrate the threat of unregulated
groundwater pumping in rural Arizona. The data comes from publicly available
well registry data provided by azwater.gov. My Grandmother has lived in the
area near the sample data for thirty years and has growing concerns about her
well running dry due to competition from neighboring cattle-feed growing
operations, many of which are from out of state.
