Upper Verde River Watershed Protection Coalition

Our Purpose:  Working together to protect the Upper Verde River, the Coalition is committed to balancing the reasonable water needs of the residents of the Upper Verde River Watershed Area with protection of the base flow of the Upper Verde River to the maximum possible extent, and achieving safe-yield within the Prescott Active Management Area (AMA), by developing BMPs (best management practices) that incorporate science-based planning, utilization and conservation of all water resources within the Upper Verde River Watershed Area, and provide financial and staff resources to support the protection activities of the Coalition.

Our Goals:  Acknowledging that water users throughout the Upper Verde River Watershed Area have impacts upon surface and groundwater systems of this area, the Coalition recognizes that water users should be responsible for their impacts.  Therefore, the Coalition supports the creation of BMPs that balance the reasonable water needs of the residents of the Upper Verde River Watershed Area with the need to preserve the vitality, health, and future flows of the Upper Verde River, good stewardship of the water resources, and equal access to unbiased scientific information upon which BMPs are to be based.
