If your power goes out during a scorching summer day in the Valley, what will happen to your pets? Where will you sleep? The Health Observatory at ASU has created a Family Heat Response Plan to help Arizonans think about what they would do without air conditioning.



Willow Springs Lake is a 150-acre cold-water reservoir located atop Arizona's Mogollon Rim in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. Groundwater  recharge rates range from less than 1% in some Arizona groundwater basins to more than 10% of annual precipitation along the Mogollon Rim.

According to a new study released by Arizona's three state universities, 95% of precipitation in the state goes back into the atmosphere and is not collected in the aquifer. ASU researchers are joining the effort to uncover solutions to more efficiently collect and retain water.
