Tucson AMA: Institutional and Policy Advisory Group (IPAG)

The Tucson AMA Institutional and Policy Advisory Group (IPAG) is an ad hoc body that discusses and analyzes regional water policy issues, and serves as the technical arm of the GUAC. IPAG was formed as part of an ambitious recharge planning process that began in the fall of 1995.

The Regional Recharge Planning Process involved the Regional Recharge Committee (entirely technical experts), and IPAG (policy-oriented representatives). Staff from the Tucson AMA provided support and coordination. The Regional Recharge Committee produced a Technical Report (1996) with physical data that served as the foundation IPAG then used to evaluate the institutional, political and economic components of regional recharge. IPAG embarked on an extensive process that included a needs assessment and development of evaluation criteria for existing, planned and proposed recharge projects. The final product was the Regional Recharge Plan.

In the spring of 2000, IPAG began evaluating issues related to storage by the Arizona Water Banking Authority (AWBA ) in the Tucson AMA. This work led to the development of a decision support tool that helped analyze the M&I subcontract firming requirements in the AMA. The results of that analysis, and the issues related to the "firming gap" were presented to the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD ) and the AWBA.
