• All subdivisions receiving an adequacy determination are in Mohave County.  Two hundred and sixty-five water adequacy determinations have been made in this basin through December 2008. Of the 32,802 lots in 262 subdivisions for which lot information is available, 32,530 lots or 99% were determined to be adequate.

• The three determinations of inadequacy were based on: the applicant’s failure to demonstrate a legal right to use the water or failure to demonstrate their legal authority to serve the subdivision; the applicant did not submit the necessary information and/or available hydrologic data were insufficient to make a determination; and water quality.

• Five Analyses of Adequate Water Supply applications have been approved for this basin, for a total of 663 lots.

  There is one designated water provider, Bullhead City, with a projected or annual estimated demand of 23,691 acre-feet.
