technical correction; plants; containers; non-irrigation

This bill clarifies that using groundwater to water plants in containers (like pots or trays) on or above ground is considered "non-irrigation" use under Arizona law. It allows farmers with existing irrigation rights to use groundwater for container-grown plants sold for human consumption, livestock feed, or sale - provided they separately measure that water use and do not exceed their total allowed irrigation water. The bill also prevents registering credits for container water use in certain accounts and permits splitting irrigation certificates if needed to separate container-grown plant areas from traditional irrigation fields. It directly affects agricultural operations using groundwater for containerized crops.
