Historical Note
The Southern Arizona Water Resources Association (SAWARA) was formed in 1982 with the
specific purpose of informing the Tucson community on water issues and to develop
community support for the Central Arizona Project (CAP).
Facing a growing population and a rising demand for water, the City of Tucson voted to
raise water rates in 1977. Tucson citizens, however, were not pleased with the decision
and voted to recall a number of the council members. The incident brought a newfound
appreciation of the finiteness of the supply of groundwater in the Tucson Basin and
forced the new elected council to address the issue. Of particular interest was the
Central Arizona Project (CAP), which had begun construction in 1973. However, it was not
known if CAP water would come to Tucson. In 1981, the Tucson Chamber of Commerce
sponsored a large meeting on water issues. One of the recommendations of that meeting
was to form an organization to rally the community behind bringing CAP water to Tucson.
The following year, a group of business, city, and county government members got
together and formed the Southern Arizona Water Resources Association (SAWARA). Their
specific purpose was to inform the Tucson community on water issues and to develop
community support for the Central Arizona Project. Marybeth Carlisle, a member of the
Arizona Water Commission, raised more than $1,000,000 and became the first Executive
Director of SAWARA.
Over the next 20 years worked to raise support for CAP and raise water awareness in
Southern Arizona. They held workshops and produced publications such as newsletters,
billboards, brochures, technical notes, newspaper columns to educate the community and
K-12 students. They developed guidelines for Xeriscape landscaping to help conserve
water and introduced identification tagging of low water-use plants to nurseries. SAWARA
stimulated the modification of local building codes to require the use of water
conservation devices. It became the leader of the CAP caucus and its members met
frequently with key Arizona and national politicians.
Unfortunately, SAWARA faced funding crises throughout its existence. In 1987, SAWARA cut
spending to balance its budget which led to a retrenchment of its outreach activities
and made it into more of a policy analysis group. Water conservation activities were
handed to Tucson Water while the
University of Arizona’s Water Resources Research
Center handled educational activities and landscaping companies and
nurseries took over xeriscape outreach. With the reduction in its educational
activities, community support for SAWARA waned. In 1991, the City of Tucson and Pima
County began to make contributions to SAWARA, which were increased in 1993-94 so that
the City covered one-third of the costs, the County another one-third, and the remaining
one-third came from private contributions. However, in 1995 the City and County reduced
their contributions substantially and SAWARA was nearly forced to close. Debate over
Proposition 200 (Water Consumers Protection Act) brought current and former members of
SAWARA into conflict and further threatened the future of the organization. Facing
waning financial support, the Board of Directors voted to close SAWARA in February of
2002.
The legacy of SAWARA is still felt today. The Central Arizona Project continues to
deliver Colorado River water to Southern Arizona and remains an important resource for
water education and conservation.
Scope and Content Note
This collection is comprised of the records of the Southern Arizona Water Resources
Association (SAWARA) that document the organization's educational and outreach efforts
about different water issues in Southern Arizona. The collection has been organized into
eight series. The bulk of the collection consists of printed material, subject files,
photographs, audiovisual material, and meeting minutes.
The Organization Filesseries contains the files produced by
SAWARA and provides internal information about the organization. Materials include
SAWARA committee meeting minutes, organizational correspondence and memoranda, notes,
press releases, grant proposals, and annual reports. The Ephemera series contains organizational ephemera developed by SAWARA,
including brochures, flyers, invitations, and other printed material. The Photographsseries consists of photographs collected and
produced by SAWARA that depict water-related events and activities in Southern Arizona.
The Research Files series consists of subject files that
SAWARA consulted to inform their activities. Materials in this series include
correspondence and memos, reports, studies, newspaper clippings, journal articles,
presentations, notes, legislative material, and media releases. The Research Reports series consist of reports that SAWARA
consulted in their research and includes scientific studies, technical reports,
environmental impact statements, feasibility assessments, scientific papers, and
conference/symposium proceedings. The Research Publications
series consists of published material that SAWARA used to inform their work and includes
newspapers, booklets, brochures, journals, magazines, reports, and newsletters. The
Audiovisual Materials series consists of VHS and U-matic
videocassettes that document water initiatives in Southern Arizona. The Oversize series contains oversize materials and includes
framed newspaper articles, awards, a poster, and photographs.
Organization
This collection is arranged into 8 series. Three series contain subseries: Series I
includes three subseries, Series IV includes two subseries and Series VI includes two
subseries.
