Do not confuse Phoenix with So Cal, We have much more sustainable and healthy water procurement than many western cities and most of the development has been on former water hogging crops like Cotton, Citrus and Lettuce our water usage has remained stable as the population quadrupled
somewhat counterintuitively Phoenix exists as its the place where all the water collects on its way out to the Gulf of California/Sea of Cortez
The whole Metro used to be this, urban development uses much less water.
