With Arizona's long standing drought, it's more important than ever our wildlife can access water.

Starting in the 1940s, purposeful water catchments were placed throughout the state to ensure large groups of animals didn't parish during times of drought. These catchments continue to be monitored today by Arizona Game and Fish, who have over 3,000 water catchments to maintain.

Many catchments are self sustaining in times of regular to average rainfall, but in recent years, lack of rain has caused Game and Fish to haul water to remote areas throughout the state, and they need our help to do so.
