The Arizona Water Resources Committee (AWRC), was a political interest group that had significant impact upon the formulation and implementation of water policy and water research programs in Arizona from 1956 (the year is was created) through the mid 1990’s. The committee sought to increase the water yield from Arizona's watersheds through vegetative manipulation and modification. It was the principal sponsor and supporter of the Arizona Watershed Program, a network of research, action, and public relations and information projects designed to achieve the goal of increased water supplies for the state.
