## Resource

The San Pedro River in Arizona, a vital oasis for millions of migratory birds and one of the most endangered rivers in the U.S., went completely dry for the second time in over a century — a stark warning sign driven by decades of groundwater pumping from nearby Fort Huachuca and urban areas, compounded by climate change. Though a monsoon brought temporary flow, experts say it’s not the steady baseflow the river needs — and that this critical, free-flowing waterway is at risk unless local water use is reined in.
