Do you think you know the monsoon? Professional forecasters' predictions for this year's monsoon season are "basically a scientific shrug," according to UArizona climate researchers. Now, members of the public can put their own monsoon predictions to the test in a fantasy monsoon game.

Managers of some Arizona golf courses are fighting a plan that would cut water use at a time when the state is being forced to confront shrinking water supplies.

The Gila River Indian Community is ensuring that its members have long-term access to their own resources while helping solve broader water supply problems in the region.

The effects of drought and climate change are seen at Hoover Dam, which will soon hold the smallest amount of water since it was filled in the 1930s.

Export of water-intensive crops has been accelerating for decades.

This year and next, Arizona and California intend to draw on water they banked in the big reservoir, even as water levels drop.

Reduced snowpack across the West could promote faster warming to our north which is what we want to happen to get our monsoon pattern together.
