watershed health; use; survey

HB 2480 defines "watershed health uses" as water conserved in natural waterways (like rivers and wetlands) to support healthy ecosystems, not used for other purposes. The bill requires Arizona's Water Resources Director to prepare a report for each watershed, detailing specific ecosystem attributes that define watershed health. This report will then establish criteria for designating water uses as "watershed health uses." The bill does not change existing water rights but creates a framework for future water management decisions focused on ecosystem health.
