The List was compiled by the Department of Water Resources in cooperation with the Landscape Technical committee of the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association, comprised of experts from the Desert Botanical Garden, the Arizona Department of Transportation and various municipal, nursery and landscape specialists in the Phoenix AMA. Individuals wishing to add or delete plants from the list may submit information to the Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources (Director) for consideration. The Director will amend the list as appropriate. The List does not imply that every plant listed is suited to every right-of-way or low water use landscape situation. It is the responsibility of the landscape designer, architect or contractor to determine which plants are suitable for a specific location and situation. The bibliography provides substantial educational information to determine specific plant characteristics and needs. PLANTS ARE PLACED IN THE CATEGORIES WHERE THEY ARE MOST OFTEN USED. THIS DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE USE OF ANY PLANT IN ANOTHER GROWTH FORM. Phoenix AMA Low Water Use/Drought Tolerant Plants Arizona Department of Water Resources Phoenix AMA- 3550 N.

RIGHT-OF-WAY REQUIREMENT Pursuant to Chapter 5, 5112A.3. of the Modifications to the Third Management Plan: 2000 – 2010, “The municipal provider or individual user shall serve or use groundwater for the purpose of watering landscaping plants planted on or after January 1, 1987 within any publicly owned right-of-way of a highway, street, road, sidewalk, curb or shoulder that is used for travel in any ordinary mode, including pedestrian travel, only if the plants are listed in Appendix 5-L. The director may waive this requirement upon request from the municipal provider or individual user if the municipal provider or individual user demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the plants listed in Appendix 5-L, Low Water Use Plant List for the Phoenix Active Management Area, or any subsequent modifications to the low water use plant list, cannot grow in the publicly owned right-of-way because of high elevation or low-light conditions, such as a freeway underpass. This requirement does not apply to any portion of a residential lot that extends into a publicly owned right-of-way.” The purpose of the requirement is twofold. First, to reduce the amount of water used for right-of-way landscaping. Second, to set an example for the public by landscaping these highly visible areas with low water use plant materials. LIST DEVELOPMENT The Low Water Using Plant List for the Phoenix AMA was compiled by the Department in cooperation with the Arizona Municipal Water Users' Landscape Technical Committee (AMWUA LTC). The committee is comprised of experts from the Desert Botanical Gardens, Arizona Department of Transportation and various nurserymen and landscape specialists from the Phoenix AMA. MODIFICATION A person who seeks to add a plant or plants to the Low Water Using Plant List for the Phoenix AMA or to delete a plant or plants from the list may apply at any time to the Director of the Department of Water Resources for a modification of the list. Application forms for modification to the list are available from the Phoenix AMA. Applications are reviewed by the AMWUA LTC for possible addition or deletion to the list. The applicant is invited to attend the meeting to discuss their proposed addition(s) or deletion(s). Information on actual consumptive use of landscape plants is currently not available. Therefore, the recommendation of the AMWUA LTC is based on a review of how the plant performs in limited water use conditions and its ability to rejuvenate itself, when more water is available. Recommendations from the AMWUA LTC are forwarded to the Director for determination. The revisions to the list are then published in an addendum and/or incorporated into the list. The modification process takes 30-60 days upon receipt of the application.
