It is a weapon predating the bow and arrow. Used worldwide for thousands of years, it proved an effective weapon. A stick with a hook on the end to hold the dart/spear, it increased the distance, speed, and force of the dart/spear. The goal of World Atlatl Day is to increase awareness and appreciation of this ancient technology and have as many people throw an atlatl on a single day as possible. S.A.L.T. is a local Arizona group whose mission is to teach, share, learn, and practice the skills that allowed ancient people to not only survive but to thrive in their respective environments. This free event is open to the public and will feature the local primitive skills group, S.A.L.T. (Study of Ancient Lifeways and Technologies), who will be conducting an atlatl demonstration. Pre-registration is not required, and no experience is needed to join the demonstration. For more information on this or other events at S'edav Va'aki Museum, visit pueblogrande.com or call (602) 495-0901.

Phoenix Water Services Department Assures Water Security Following Release of New Groundwater Modelhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/water-services/2768Water Services6/1/2023 9:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2768/Groundwater_AMA_Newsroom_Water_055.jpgPhoenix Water Services Department Assures Water Security Following Release of New Groundwater Model<div class="ExternalClass2FED68F1E16942C6AE8E851AABFE68CD"><html> <div></div><div><span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span><span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span><p>The City of Phoenix Water Services Dept. addresses concerns raised by the <a target="_blank" href="https://new.azwater.gov/phoenix-ama-groundwater-supply-updates">new Phoenix Active Management Area (AMA) Groundwater Model release​</a>, emphasizing that Phoenix's water security remains intact due to its diversified water portfolio and long-term planning. It is important to note that while the Phoenix AMA bears our city’s name, the area is very large and encompasses all of Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County. However, the model, unveiled by the Arizona Department of Water Resources, has prompted discussions about Phoenix's water resources.<br></p><p>The Groundwater Model provides valuable insights into groundwater usage projections and indicates an expected groundwater shortage of 4.9 million acre-feet over the next 100 years in the Phoenix AMA. The Model does not include projections of the availability of any other type of water, including water from rivers and streams and reclaimed water.<br></p><p>While the results of the study are important for understanding the groundwater situation, it is crucial for Phoenix Water customers and stakeholders to know that the City’s water security remains unaffected. Groundwater plays a minimal role in Phoenix's overall water usage, accounting for only 2% of the City's total water usage each year. The remainder of Phoenix’s water supplies come from renewable resources, such as the Salt, Verde, and Colorado Rivers. Phoenix also reuses more than 95% of its reclaimed water. <br></p><p>"Ensuring our continued water security is a top priority, and I have the utmost confidence in the City of Phoenix’s water resources planning and resilience," said Mayor Kate Gallego. "For the last several decades we have stored more groundwater than we have used, and we will continue to invest in diversifying our resources, bolstering infrastructure, and enhancing conservation practices. We’re not only looking out for ourselves—Phoenix will continue to lead the region in securing our water supplies for the future, including in driving the development of a regional Advanced Water Purification system that will supply up to 60 million gallons of water per day by the end of the decade."<br></p><p>The Assured Water Supply (AWS) program is a cornerstone of Phoenix's water management efforts. All ten cities within the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association (AMWUA) have a 100-year Assured Water Supply Designation, demonstrating their ability to meet current and future water demands, including growth. This designation considers a diverse water portfolio, including surface water from the Central Arizona Project (CAP) and Salt River Project (SRP), which accounted for 90% of drinking water supplies in 2021. Groundwater represents a small percentage of the collective water portfolios of AMWUA cities.<br></p><p>Cynthia Campbell, Phoenix Water Resources Management Advisor, added, "The City of Phoenix has diligently pursued a comprehensive water management strategy, which includes reducing dependence on groundwater. Through proactive measures such as advanced water purification systems, infrastructure expansion, and strong conservation programs, we will continue to be resilient in the face of challenges."<br></p><p>Additionally, the City of Phoenix has implemented its own sophisticated water forecasting system that considers various factors such as temperature, precipitation patterns, population growth, and economic development. This comprehensive approach allows the City to accurately assess future water demands and make informed decisions to ensure water availability for its residents and businesses. By considering the potential impacts of climate change, population growth, and economic factors, Phoenix is actively planning and implementing strategies to meet the water needs of a thriving and expanding city. This proactive approach, combined with the diversified water portfolio and long-term planning, further solidifies Phoenix's commitment to maintaining water security and sustainability for the years to come.<br></p><p>The City of Phoenix Water Services Department remains committed to sustainable water management practices, investing in technology, infrastructure, and conservation measures. Those efforts ensure that Phoenix can meet current and future water demands, regardless of the challenges posed by the groundwater model or potential Colorado River shortages.​<br></p><span id="ms-rterangepaste-end"></span><span id="ms-rterangepaste-end"></span> </div> <p> <strong>Arizona Department of Water Resources</strong>: <a target="_blank" href="https://new.azwater.gov/phoenix-ama-groundwater-supply-updates">Phoenix AMA Groundwater Supply Updates​</a></p> <p> <strong>About City of Phoenix Water Services Department</strong> <br></p> <p> The City of Phoenix Water Services Department is dedicated to providing high-quality, reliable, and sustainable water services to the residents, businesses, and visitors of Phoenix.

City Council Approves Plan to Expand Bike Lane Miles, Improve Transportation Networkhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/street-transportation/2764Street Transportation5/31/2023 11:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2764/Fillmore St-5.jpgCity Council Approves Plan to Expand Bike Lane Miles, Improve Transportation Network<div class="ExternalClassAE65D6EA47014DEB8C1309EC5774FCD5"><html> <p>​​Phoenix City Council unanimously approved on Wednesday an Active Transportation Plan that will guide expansion of bike lane miles and improvements to the citywide transportation network. The plan is an update to the city's Bicycle Master Plan that was approved by City Council in 2014, and connects to <a href="/newsroom/street-transportation/2473" target="_blank">the comprehensive Vision Zero Road Safety Action Plan that City Council approved in 2022</a>.<br></p><p>Active transportation is defined as walking, bicycling or rolling, and includes the use of micromobility vehicles such as e-scooters. By designing roadways to be inclusive of those forms of active travel this plan will help improve safety and connectivity, and give people choices about how they move around the community.<br></p><p>A key component to the Active Transportation Plan is a strategy to help Phoenix meet a commitment to add 1,080 new bike lane miles by 2050, which is a benchmark of the <a href="/t2050" target="_blank">Transportation 2050 Plan</a> (T2050) that was approved by voters in 2015.</p><p>As outlined in the Active Transportation Plan, the Street Transportation Department will work in each of Phoenix's urban villages to develop an expanded network of bike lanes. The work will be done with two urban villages per year to create the plan and schedule installation of the bike lanes within two years, and as funding is available.

This online map shows all the emergency incidents dispatched in the Phoenix Fire Department service area, which is the City of Phoenix, Town of Paradise Valley and Laveen. <br><br>The map has a 30-day rolling window and has filters for Neighborhood and Council District. Incident locations are displayed based on their category. Categories include Emergency Medical Services, Fire, Hazmat, Calls for Service, and Technical Rescue.<br><br>All incidents are geo-coded down to the street level, meaning there should never be any home addresses revealed.<br><br>​"This data collection demonstrates the innovative efforts of the men and women who serve the city of Phoenix 24/7, 365 days a year," Phoenix Fire Chief Mike Duran added. "Critical data collection like this and support from city leadership allows Phoenix Fire to find creative solutions to address  trends in emergency situations. The result is that we can provide the highest quality customer service possible.”<br><br>The start of the data begins two days prior to the current day and data is updated each day at approximately 12:00 AM. Data can be filtered by date, city, incident type, Phoenix city council district, village, responding station, and first due station. <br><br>The dashboard will continue to be updated and defaults to the most recent 24-hour period available in the data. For best results when using a Custom Date Range, set the Predefined Date Range to the full 30-day dataset.<br><br><p>This new online incident history map helps educate and inform the community and media on call volume, trends in emergency incidents, and shows the incredible work of members of the Phoenix Fire Department. <br><br></p></html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/fireNewsfire
