watershed health; survey; use
SB 1386 amends Arizona law to define "watershed health uses" as water conserved in natural watercourses that supports ecosystem health as specified in a required report. This definition clarifies how water conservation efforts in natural streams will be categorized under state water management. The bill directly affects the Department of Water Resources and its director, who will use this definition in managing water resources. It does not create new programs or alter water rights but establishes a specific term for existing conservation practices.
