Climate PEORIA, ARIZONA - JUNE 08: The Central Arizona Project canal runs past homes in the Phoenix suburbs on June 8, 2023 in Peoria, Arizona. The project carries diverted Colorado River water through a 336-mile long system to help serve 80 percent of the population of Arizona. Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs announced last week that that there is a shortage of groundwater for new housing construction which has been previously approved in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Arizona will no longer be able to give developers new permits for home construction in some outlying desert suburbs of Maricopa County which rely on groundwater wells. The cities of Phoenix and Peoria rely mostly on river water and reclaimed water and will not be directly affected by the decision. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
