This chapter of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerns water exchanges. It defines “water exchange" as a trade between one or more persons, or between one or more persons and one or more Indian communities, of any water for any other water, if each party has a right or claim to use the water it gives in trade. This definition applies whether or not water is traded in equal amounts or other consideration is included in the trade. The chapter further provides for enrollment of water exchange contracts; permits for water exchanges; water exchanges pursuant to notice; and enforcement.
