This page provides data for the Tree and Shade Canopy performance measure. Sustainable growth for the City of Tempe is influenced by many factors, including the development and maintenance of our tree canopy. An adequate canopy provides shade, cooling, reduces water evaporation, and is an indication of a healthy and well-maintained environment. As per the Urban Forestry Master Plan, this data represents tree canopy in parks, street right-of-ways, and municipally owned and managed facilities.

This dataset indicates whether the City of Tempe met its groundwater production capacity to meet the projected average for future annual daily demand.  Currently, Tempe has approximately 24 million gallons per day (MGD) of existing recovery well production capacity and an average annual daily demand of around 43 MGD.  Over the next five years, capital projects are planned to design and construct wells that will add or recapture about 10 MGD of additional capacity to the system.  Some of these projects include the addition of wellhead treatment to existing wells that were removed from service due to water quality concerns.  As this program develops, additional new wells will be sited and added to the overall system to bring us closer to reaching this goal.  The performance measure dashboard is available at 4.16 Groundwater Supply     Data Dictionary   Additional Information   Source: Arizona Department of Water Resources Contact:  Tara Ford Contact E-Mail: Tara_Ford@tempe.gov Data Source Type:  Excel Preparation Method:  The permitted capacity for each well site is added together. Publish Frequency:  Annual Publish Method: Manual
