Water rights and the San Pedro River
One key point discussed in the podcast is the resolution of the Hila adjudication, which determined the water rights for the San Pedro River. This ruling now allows for the enforcement of water rights to protect the ecosystem and flow of the river. The ruling established specific water rights based on monthly flow and measurements from stream gauges and wells in the San Pedro-Riparian National Conservation Area.
