Gov. Katie Hobbs’ administration on Monday announced two steps to stop a controversial Saudi Arabian company from using groundwater beneath state land in western Arizona to grow and export alfalfa.
Hobbs said in a statement that the Arizona State Land Department had canceled one of its leases to Fondomonte Arizona, and would not renew three others that are set to expire in February.

One of the more documented cases is the Intel chip plant in Chandler. Intel’s plant treats its effluent to potable standards and pumps the water into the local aquifer to store it. Intel has a lot of water there.
