Impact of Corporations on Water Resources

The episode highlights the significant impact of large corporate farms, particularly those linked to foreign investments, on local water resources in Arizona. The case of Fonda Monte, a Saudi company expanding its agricultural operations in La Paz County, demonstrates concerns over additional wells being drilled that threaten local aquifers vital for residents and smaller farms. Arizona Attorney General Chris Mays has raised alarms about these developments, emphasizing that the state must be vigilant against further exploitation of water resources by powerful entities. The urgency of this situation is underscored by the growing discontent among local communities harmed by these practices.
