The Arizona Water Blueprint website helps answer questions about water supply and use by creating a holistic view of water in Arizona. With just a few clicks, you can explore Arizona’s water landscape and learn about Arizona’s water resources and infrastructure.
The water glossary provides definitions for map layers and terms used throughout the Blueprint.
Five easy steps to start using the comprehensive map.
Choose a data layer by clicking one of the icons in the upper right corner of the viewer.
The map and data layers are divided into categories with similar feature attributes or themes. From left to right: Hydrography, Political & Regulatory, Infrastructure, Habitat, and Augmentation. All layers within each group are listed alphabetically.
Select specific layers by clicking in the box to the left of the layer name.
Click on the ellipsis (the three dots) to the right of the layer name for viewing and other options.
View the legend by clicking the drop-down arrow to the left of the checked box.
The legends for all selected layers will also appear in the Blueprint Legend pop-up box, which can be minimized and restored by clicking the icon at the bottom of the vertical column of icons on the left side of the Blueprint viewer.
Once you’ve selected the data layers of interest, start exploring.
Click map attributes to open pop-ups with additional details and data.
Use the pop-up scroll bar on the right to view all available information.
Click on the ellipsis at the bottom of the pop-up to view in a table format.
Like a spreadsheet, an attribute table can help you easily see and compare data. It will appear at the bottom of your browser window.
We have some tips to help you navigate the map and work with the data sets.
