Water that falls from the atmosphere to the earth's surface due to climatic factors, primarily in the forms of rain and snow.

The disclosure document issued by the Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) which allows a developer or subdivider to sell lots within a platted, recorded subdivision. Also known as the Commissioner's Public Report (CPR), this document is issued only after the extensive subdivision application has been approved and the subdivision has been physically inspected. A demonstration of a 100-year water supply may also be required.

Part of a stream or river where the current is swift.

A ridge of rock, coral, or sand at or near the surface of a body of water.

A pattern of regular or semi-regular occurrences or processes that characterizes and governs a natural system, as in precipitation regime, fire regime, disturbance regime, etc.

Definition: The gradual and permanent acquisition of dry, usable land due to receding waters in a non-navigable waterway.

2. Biology, Conservation, Forestry: Land that has been saved or set aside in order to preserve its natural qualities, structure, function, or composition; land where development is prohibited or only limited development may occur.

Definition: A natural or artificial body of water used to collect and store water for future use, usually formed by damming a free-flowing watercourse, such as a river or stream; reservoirs also serve as mechanisms to regulate and control water's flow.

The semi-impermeable and impermeable layers located at the bottom of a river or stream channel; the bottom of a river channel, beneath which water does not penetrate or penetrates extremely slowly.

Water that flows over the earth's surface; precipitation that falls to the earth, is not infiltrated, evaporated, or transpired, and exceeds the capacity of the soil or the vegetation to absorb it.
Also known as Surface runoff.

Definition: Former name of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), a federal agency of the United States created in 1935 to assist private landowners and managers with conservation and protection of soil, water, and other natural resources. The NRCS provides information and consultation services, as well as financial assistance for conservation projects and programs.

The beginning or point of origin for a stream or river. The source of a river may be springs, the confluence of small streams, lakes, or snowmelt.
Also known as a river's headwaters.

Surface runoff that is confined to a stream or river channel.

In Arizona, subdivision is defined as the act of dividing a parcel of land into six (6) or more parcels of equal or unequal size, any one or more of which is less than thirty-six (36) acres and offered for sale or lease. A disclosure law, the purpose of which is to protect the public from fraud through full and accurate disclosure, governs subdivision of land in Arizona. After state approval of the subdivision application, the subdivider must pay travel and related costs for an inspection of the site by the Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE). In addition, if the proposed subdivision is within an Active Management Area (AMA) as defined by the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR), the subdivider or developer is "required to demonstrate an assured water supply that will be physically, legally, and continuously available for the next 100 years before the developer can record plats or sell parcels". Demonstration of an assured water supply is required before ADRE will issue a public report, allowing the developer to sell lots in the subdivision. This is known as the Assured Water Supply Program. In locations outside of AMA's, the Adequate Water Supply Program requires that a developer or subdivider may still sell lots in a subdivision even if the 100-year water supply is determined to be inadequate, as long as this fact is dislosed to potential buyers in the public report and in all promotional materials. Both water supply programs are overseen by ADWR's Office of Assured and Adequate Water Supply.

Water that flows over the earth's surface; precipitation that falls to the earth, is not infiltrated, evaporated, or transpired, and exceeds the capacity of the soil or the vegetation to absorb it.
Also known simply as Runoff.

A body of free-flowing water, such as a river or stream,; the channel that contains a free-flowing body of water. Also known as a waterway.

1. Area of land that drains all surface runoff to a common point. Large watersheds often contain numerous small watersheds; all land areas of the earth are within at least one watershed or sub-watershed.
2. The land area drained by a river and its tributaries.
