groundwater permits; technical correction

Summary

The bill lets Arizona’s water director grant permits to non‑irrigation users to withdraw groundwater that is of poor quality, but only if the water has no other beneficial use and the withdrawal fits the state’s water management plan. Permits may last as long as 35 years, based on the estimated life of the source, and the director must monitor use and can cancel the permit if the original conditions no longer apply.
