🌊 Phoenix's Water Conservation and Recycling Initiatives
The video script discusses the water scarcity challenges faced by Arizona, particularly the city of Phoenix, due to the reduced flow of the Colorado River. Phoenix has been proactive in its water management, with a key strategy being the recycling of all its wastewater. The city's Water Services Department, led by Kathryn Sorensen, treats and reuses wastewater for various purposes, including maintaining the Tres Rios Wetlands, supplying a nuclear power plant, and irrigating crops. The script also highlights the city's efforts in water conservation, with a shift from water-intensive landscapes to water-efficient gardens. Despite using less water, Phoenix serves a growing population, thanks to these conservation measures. The city is also preparing for future water shortages by investing in water storage and infrastructure, and by entering into agreements with other cities and organizations to secure additional water sources.
💧 Diversifying Water Sources and System Conservation in Phoenix
This section of the script delves into Phoenix's strategies for securing diverse water sources to ensure long-term water supply. The city has storage agreements with Tucson, allowing it to store up to 12 billion gallons of water annually in Tucson's aquifers. Phoenix also engages in 'system conservation' by compensating partners like the Gila River Indian Community for conserving water, which helps maintain higher water levels in Lake Mead. Furthermore, Phoenix collaborates with environmental organizations on resiliency projects to maintain water levels in the Salt and Verde rivers. These projects include forest thinning to reduce sediment flow and the use of automated water diversions to leave more water in the rivers. The city is also supporting the conversion of irrigation methods from flood to drip, which significantly reduces water usage. As a backup plan, Phoenix is considering the use of its vast underground groundwater resources, although this would require substantial investment in infrastructure.
🌡️ Adapting to a Hotter and Drier Future in Phoenix
The final paragraph of the script underscores Phoenix's preparedness for the impacts of climate change, which is expected to exacerbate water scarcity. Despite the challenges, Phoenix's history of dealing with arid conditions has positioned it well to adapt to a hotter and drier future. The city's proactive measures in water conservation, recycling, and storage, along with its strategic partnerships, are seen as strengths in the face of climate change. The script concludes with an optimistic note on Phoenix's ability to manage its water resources effectively, even as the climate becomes more extreme.

Transcripts
>> Sreenivasan: THIS PAST WINTER
THE STATE OF ARIZONA PASSED A
KEY PIECE OF WATER LEGISLATION.
IT'S CALLED THE DROUGHT
CONTINGENCY PLAN AND IT
ACKNOWLEDGES THE FACT THAT THE
COLORADO RIVER IS PROVIDING LESS
WATER THAN IT USED TO TO THE
SEVEN STATES THAT DEPEND ON IT.
IN FACT, PLACES THAT RELY ON THE
RIVER ARE NOW FACING A LOOMING
SHORTAGE.
WE TRAVELED TO PHOENIX TO FIND
OUT HOW THE GROWING CITY IS
PREPARING FOR A FUTURE WITH LESS
WATER.
THE STORY IS PART OF OUR ONGOING
SERIES "PERIL & PROMISE: THE
CHALLENGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE."
ARIZONA IS IN IT'S 19th YEAR OF
DROUGHT.
BUT WALKING AROUND THE MORE THAN
400 ACRES OF THE TRES RIOS
WETLANDS JUST OUTSIDE PHOENIX,
YOU'D BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND
ANY EVIDENCE OF THAT.
150 DIFFERENT SPECIES CALL THIS
PLACE HOME FOR AT LEAST PART OF
THE YEAR.
THERE'S LUSH NATIVE VEGETATION,
LARGE PONDS, AND WATER RUSHING
THROUGH MAN-MADE TUNNELS.
SO HOW IS THIS WETLAND STAYING
WET?
>> WE'VE BEEN RECLAIMING AND
REUSING OUR WASTEWATER FOR ABOUT
40 YEARS NOW.
>> Sreenivasan: KATHRYN SORENSEN
IS THE DIRECTOR OF PHOENIX'S
WATER SERVICES DEPARTMENT, WHICH
DELIVERS WATER TO ABOUT
1.5-MILLION PEOPLE.
AFTER IT'S USED SOME OF IT ENDS
UP HERE AT TRES RIOS.
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR OVERALL
WATER FROM PHOENIX IS RECYCLED
SO TO SPEAK?
>> ACTUALLY ALL OF IT.
SO, ALL THE WASTEWATER THAT'S
GENERATED HERE IN THE CITY OF
PHOENIX GETS RECLAIMED AND
REUSED FOR ONE PURPOSE OR
ANOTHER.
>> Sreenivasan: PHOENIX'S
WASTEWATER IS TREATED AT PLANTS
LIKE THIS.
THERE ARE TWO OF THEM IN THE
AREA.
THIS SITE RELEASES ABOUT 53
MILLION GALLONS OF NEWLY CLEANED
WATER A DAY INTO THIS
CONSTRUCTED WETLAND SYSTEM.
THE SERIES OF PONDS HELPS
"POLISH" OR REDUCE CHLORINE
LEVELS IN THE WATER BEFORE IT'S
PUSHED INTO A NEARBY RIVER.
THE CITY SENDS MORE THAN 23
BILLION GALLONS A YEAR OF
RECYCLED WASTEWATER TO A NUCLEAR
POWER PLANT.
AN ADDITIONAL 16 BILLION GALLONS
A YEAR ARE USED TO IRRIGATE
NEARBY CROPS.
THIS WATER RECYCLING EFFORT IS
PART OF PHOENIX'S LARGER
STRATEGY TO SECURE LONG-TERM
ACCESS TO WATER.
TO ACHIEVE THAT, THIS DESERT
CITY IS COUNTING ON WATER
STORAGE AND CONSERVATION.
>> THE THING ABOUT PHOENIX IS
IT'S HOT AND DRY HERE.
IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE HOT AND
DRY HERE, RIGHT.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO SAVE WATER
BECAUSE THEY LIVE HERE, BECAUSE
IT'S PART OF EMBRACING A DESERT
LIFESTYLE.
>> Sreenivasan: DRIVE AROUND THE
CITY, YOU'LL SEE THE
CONSERVATION EFFORTS FROM ONE
FRONT YARD TO THE NEXT.
THESE GARDENS REQUIRE LITTLE OR
NO WATER.
WE DID COME ACROSS LUSH
LANDSCAPING AND LAWNS BEING
DOUSED, BUT SORENSEN ESTIMATES
THAT ONLY ABOUT 14% OF HOMES
HAVE GRASS TODAY, DOWN FROM 80%
IN THE 1970s.
SHE CITES NOT ONLY WATER
CONSERVATION CAMPAIGNS, BUT ALSO
THE COST OF WATER, AS TWO OF THE
BIGGEST REASONS FOR THE CHANGE.
SINCE 1990 THE CITY CHARGES
RATEPAYERS A 28% PREMIUM FOR
WATER IN THE SUMMER WHEN DEMAND
IS HIGHEST.
AND PHOENIX'S EFFORTS AT
CONSERVATION ARE PAYING OFF.
>> WE USE LESS WATER TODAY THAN
WE DID 20 YEARS AGO BUT WE SERVE
400,000 MORE PEOPLE WITH THAT
SAME AMOUNT OF WATER.
>> Sreenivasan: THOSE SAVINGS
ARE CRUCIAL FOR A GROWING DESERT
CITY WITH MOUNTING PRESSURE ON
IT'S WATER RESOURCES.
PHOENIX IS SERVED BY THREE
RIVERS: THE VERDE, THE SALT AND
THE COLORADO.
THE COLORADO, WHICH ORIGINATES
FROM SNOWPACK SUPPLIES LAKE
MEAD.
IT'S AMERICA'S LARGEST RESERVOIR
AND PROVIDES ABOUT 40% OF THE
CITY'S WATER.
BUT THAT SOURCE IS UNDER THREAT.
OVER THE PAST CENTURY THE
COLORADO RIVER'S FLOW HAS
DECLINED BY ABOUT 16%.
SCIENTISTS POINT TO CLIMATE
CHANGE AS A MAIN REASON.
A WARMING ENVIRONMENT MEANS LESS
SNOWPACK AND LESS WATER IN THE
RIVER.
THEY PROJECT EVEN GREATER LOSSES
OVER THE NEXT 50-100 YEARS.
THIS MEANS LESS WATER IN LAKE
MEAD.
LEVELS HAVE DROPPED 120 FEET
OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS, AND THE
FEDERAL BUREAU OF RECLAMATION IS
PROJECTING A SHORTAGE AS SOON AS
NEXT YEAR.
>> WE ARE VERY AWARE THAT
CLIMATE CHANGE IS HAPPENING,
THAT WE HAVE INCREASED RISK OF
DROUGHT AND ALSO THAT MORE OF
OUR PRECIPITATION IS GOING TO
COME IN SHORTER, MORE INTENSE
EVENTS.
>> Sreenivasan: KATE GALLEGO IS
THE RECENTLY ELECTED MAYOR OF
PHOENIX.
YOU GET A GOOD CHUNK OF YOUR
WATER FROM THE COLORADO RIVER
AND THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERN
THAT THOSE LEVELS AT LAKE MEAD
ARE GOING DOWN FURTHER AND
FURTHER BEYOND WHAT PEOPLE WERE
EXPECTING.
WHAT HAPPENS TO PHOENIX'S WATER
SUPPLY IF THE COLORADO STOPS
GIVING?
>> WE ARE INCREDIBLY LINKED WITH
THE COLORADO RIVER AND IT HAS
BEEN DECLINING AT LAKE MEAD AT A
FASTER RATE THAN WE EXPECTED.
WE'RE TRYING TO THINK LONG TERM.
SO WE ARE STORING MORE WATER AND
INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE TO
BE ABLE TO GET THAT OUT.
>> Sreenivasan: FOR MORE THAN 20
YEARS, ARIZONA'S WATER STORAGE
AGENCY HAS BEEN SAVING THE
STATE'S UNUSED COLORADO RIVER
ALLOTMENT IN UNDERGROUND
AQUIFERS.
IT NOW HAS ABOUT HALF A YEAR'S
WORTH OF WATER THAT CAN BE
SHARED WITH CITIES INCLUDING
PHOENIX SHOULD THERE BE A WATER
SHORTAGE.
BUILDING ON THIS IDEA, PHOENIX
HAS STRUCK ITS OWN SEPARATE
WATER STORAGE AGREEMENTS WITH
OTHER ARIZONA CITIES.
TAKE ITS ARRANGEMENT WITH
TUCSON.
PHOENIX USES ONLY 2/3 OF THE
WATER IT IS ENTITLED TO FROM THE
COLORADO RIVER.
SO IT STORES UP TO 12 BILLION
GALLONS OF WATER EVERY YEAR IN
TUCSON'S AQUIFERS.
TUCSON CAN THEN USE THAT WATER
WHEN IT FACES A SHORTAGE.
IN EXCHANGE, PHOENIX WILL GET TO
USE FUTURE COLORADO RIVER WATER
THAT IS ALLOCATED TO TUCSON.
>> SO WE GO OUT AND ACQUIRE
SUPPLIES EVERY CHANCE WE GET.
WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE A DIVERSE
BASKET OF THEM.
MORE THAN WE NEED TODAY TO MEET
OUR DEMANDS SO THAT WE CAN
PROVIDE FOR THE FUTURE.
>> Sreenivasan: THAT SOMETIMES
MEANS PAYING PARTNERS TO
CONSERVE WATER.
HAVE YOU IN YOUR LIFETIME SEEN
THIS RIVER FLOWING?
>> VERY RARELY.
>> Sreenivasan: STEPHEN LEWIS IS
THE GOVERNOR OF THE GILA RIVER
INDIAN COMMUNITY.
THE RESERVATION IS JUST SOUTH OF
PHOENIX AND HOME TO THE AKIMEL
O'ODHAM AND PIIPAASH TRIBES.
DECADES OF UPSTREAM WATER
DIVERSIONS LEFT THIS THREE MILE
STRETCH OF THE GILA RIVER DRY
UNTIL JUST A FEW YEARS AGO.
NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE
COMMUNITY, THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND ARIZONA TO
PROVIDE WATER ACCESS LED TO THE
RESTORATION OF TRIBAL WATER
RIGHTS AND PAVED THE WAY FOR
THIS RENEWED RIVER FLOW.
>> THIS IS A WORKING AQUIFER.
IT RECHARGES WATER WHICH BUILDS
UP OUR GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES, BUT
ALSO THIS ALLOWS US TO USE OUR
COLORADO RIVER WATER FOR
CONSERVATION PURPOSES.
>> Sreenivasan: THE COMMUNITY
NOW USES OR STORES ITS FULL
ALLOCATION OF COLORADO RIVER
WATER IN UNDERGROUND AQUIFERS.
BUT IN 2017, PHOENIX AND SEVERAL
OTHER PARTNERS PAID THE
COMMUNITY $12 MILLION TO LEAVE
SOME OF ITS WATER IN LAKE MEAD.
THIS PAY-TO-CONSERVE TRANSACTION
IS CALLED SYSTEM CONSERVATION.
>> ESSENTIALLY YOU FIND SOMEONE
WHO'S WILLING TO USE LESS WATER,
SOMEONE COMPENSATES THEM FOR
USING THAT LESS WATER.
THE WATER THOUGH THAT'S SAVED,
IT DOESN'T BELONG TO ANYBODY.
IT BELONGS TO THE SYSTEM.
THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED SYSTEM
CONSERVATION.
IT STAYS UP IN LAKE MEAD AND
JUST HELPS BOOST RESERVOIR
LEVELS FOR EVERYONE WHO DEPENDS
ON THAT WATER.
>> Sreenivasan: PHOENIX IS ALSO
PARTNERING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL
ORGANIZATIONS TO MAINTAIN LEVELS
ON THE SALT AND VERDE RIVERS,
TWO BODIES OF WATER THAT SUPPLY
THE CITY.
AN HOUR AND A HALF NORTH OF
PHOENIX IN THE RURAL TOWN OF
CAMP VERDE WE MET UP WITH
KIMBERLY SCHONEK.
SHE WORKS FOR THE NONPROFIT
NATURE CONSERVANCY MANAGING
PROJECTS ALONG THE VERDE RIVER.
>> SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS
CREATE A COLLECTIVE WHERE PEOPLE
CAN INVEST IN THEIR WATERSHED
AND BENEFIT THEIR WATER SUPPLY.
SO OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY
OF PHOENIX IS REALLY ABOUT
MAKING THAT CHANGE AND BRINGING
THIS NOTION THAT DOWNSTREAM
WATER USERS DEPEND ON WATERSHED
ACTIONS AND IMPROVING WATERSHED
CONDITION IMPROVES THE
RESILIENCY OF YOUR WATER SUPPLY.
>> Sreenivasan: PHOENIX IS
CONTRIBUTING HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OVER THE
NEXT FEW YEARS TO RESILIENCY
PROJECTS HERE.
IT IS THE FIRST CITY IN ARIZONA
TO DO SO, SUPPORTING PROJECTS
LIKE FOREST THINNING THAT
DECREASE SEDIMENT FLOW INTO THE
VERDE RIVER AFTER WILDFIRES.
FUNDING FROM PHOENIX ALSO HELPS
BUILD ON PROJECTS THE NATURE
CONSERVANCY HAS BEEN MANAGING
FOR YEARS LIKE AUTOMATED WATER
DIVERSIONS, OR HEADGATES.
>> SO THE HEADGATES ARE CONTROL
STRUCTURES THAT ARE DESIGNED TO
REGULATE THE FLOW IN THE DITCH
SO THAT YOU HAVE THE AMOUNT OF
WATER THAT YOU NEED AND WANT AND
LEAVING THE REST IN THE RIVER.
SO SOME DITCHES HAVE CUT THEIR
USE BY 25-40% JUST BY
IMPLEMENTING THIS VERY SIMPLE
TECHNOLOGY.
>> Sreenivasan: MORE WATER LEFT
IN THE RIVER BY UPSTREAM USERS
MEANS DOWNSTREAM CITIES LIKE
PHOENIX HAVE MORE IN THE FUTURE.
>> AND THEN THIS IS A VALVE SO
YOU CAN SEE ONE OF THE ISSUES
WITH THE FLOOD IS JUST THE
LEAKING.
>> Sreenivasan: ANOTHER MEASURE
THAT BENEFITS PHOENIX'S WATER
SUPPLY, IN 2015 THE NATURE
CONSERVANCY STARTED WORKING WITH
FARMERS TO CONVERT FROM FLOOD
IRRIGATION, WHICH INVOLVES
RELEASING WATER ONTO A FIELD, TO
DRIP, WHICH APPLIES WATER MORE
DIRECTLY ONTO ROOTS.
>> WE'RE REDUCING THEIR WATER
USE BY 30-40%.
SO THAT HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON THE
RIVER.
>> Sreenivasan: BUT IF
INVESTMENTS, CONSERVATION AND
WATER AGREEMENTS FALL SHORT,
KATHRYN SORENSEN AT THE PHOENIX
WATER DEPARTMENT SAYS THE CITY
HAS A BACKUP PLAN.
>> THE GROUNDWATER BENEATH US,
THE MOST RECENT ESTIMATE I GOT
FROM THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF
WATER RESOURCES IS THAT THERE IS
90 MILLION ACRE-FEET.
>> Sreenivasan: THAT'S 300 YEARS
WORTH OF WATER FOR PHOENIX.
BUT ACCESSING THAT WATER WILL
REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT
INVESTMENT-- AN ESTIMATED
$500-MILLION TO DIG DEEP,
EXPENSIVE WELLS AND INSTALL
PIPES TO CARRY WATER TO AREAS
THAT MAY BE CUT OFF IN THE
FUTURE.
IN JANUARY, THE CITY COUNCIL
APPROVED A RATE HIKE THAT WOULD
HELP FUND THE NEW
INFRASTRUCTURE.
ITS AN INVESTMENT AGAINST A
WARMER FUTURE THAT THE CITY
KNOWS IS COMING.
>> ODDLY I THINK THAT THAT
PHOENIX IS BETTER POSITIONED TO
DEAL WITH CLIMATE CHANGE THAN A
LOT OF OTHER CITIES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AND THE WORLD.
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS STRANGE, BUT
I THINK WE'RE JUST, WE'RE ALWAYS
IN THE TRENCHES HERE, WE ARE
ALWAYS IN THE TRENCHES.
IT IS ALWAYS HOT AND DRY HERE
AND PREPARING FOR A FUTURE WHERE
IT'S GOING TO BE HOTTER AND
DRIER.
WE KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.
