HB 2151 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

surface water; irrigation; definition

HB 2151 amends Arizona law to clarify the definition of "irrigation" for water rights purposes. It explicitly states that irrigation includes water used to grow crops for sale, human consumption, or as livestock feed (including range livestock and poultry). This change directly affects farmers, ranchers, and water rights holders by defining how water use qualifies under existing water appropriation laws. The bill does not create new requirements or alter current water rights; it only refines the statutory definition.
