Arizona water officials now predict the West will enter the next stage of drought restrictions as soon as August. A Tier 2 shortage declaration would mean even more cuts to the amount of water Arizona gets from the Colorado River, but not nearly as much as the Tier 1 shortage declared in 2021. Still, officials with the Central Arizona Project and the Department of Water Resources warn the state needs to do more to conserve water to help stave off even more restrictive cuts.
