2022 Annual Report:

The Annual Report details the AWBA's activities for the previous calendar year, including credit development and the progress made on satisfying the state's firming obligations. 

The AWBA had no excess CAP water supplies available for storage in 2022. As a result, the AWBA continued to make progress on its firming goals and obligations through the purchase of 1) LTSCs and 2) Intentionally Created Surplus (ICS) firming credits. In 2022, the AWBA purchased 13,273 acre-feet of LTSCs: 10,358 acre-feet in the Phoenix Active Management Area (AMA) and 2,915 acre-feet in the Tucson AMA. Cumulatively, the AWBA has accrued or acquired 4.37 million acre-feet (MAF) of LTSCs. Of this amount, 3.76 MAF are for Arizona uses and 0.61 MAF are interstate credits stored on behalf of the State of Nevada. Additionally, in 2022 the AWBA purchased 2,822 acre-feet of ICS firming credits pursuant to its 2019 agreement with the Gila River Indian Community (Community). Cumulatively, the AWBA has purchased 26,320 acre-feet of ICS firming credits.
