AI Summary

This bill requires the Arizona Water Banking Authority, which manages water resources for the state, to post its annual report on its website in addition to submitting it to the governor and legislative leaders. The report details the authority's financial transactions, the amount of water stored, and the distribution and purpose of long-term storage credits, which represent water rights. It also includes projections for future water banking activities, including storing Colorado River water brought into Arizona via the Central Arizona Project, to protect municipal and industrial water users, meet state water management goals, and facilitate settlements of Indian water rights claims.
