Western states that rely on the shrinking Colorado River have struggled for years to agree to cuts. Arizona was among the states that came to an agreement in May and has asked residents to cut back. The Washington Post found Arizona has let a Saudi firm pump water unchecked for years. But since 2015, Arizona has let a Saudi Arabian firm use water largely unchecked. While the extent of water usage by a Saudi company for alfalfa exports has sparked controversy in Arizona, others have pointed out that the state's water problems go well beyond that.

Arizona has taken steps to lower residents' water consumption as it combats a long-term drought. Meanwhile, the spigot flows freely for the Saudi-owned company, Fondomonte, WaPo reported. For years, that information was unavailable to Arizona due to little state oversight and regulations, the Post reported. Meanwhile, state and city officials throughout Arizona have taken steps to cut back residents' water usage. In January, Scottsdale also cut off the water supply for about a thousand Rio Verde residents, citing extreme drought conditions.
