Questions About Controversy

For my next project, I'll be working off the topic that I covered somewhat Project 2: drought and water consumption.  I want to address the issues that are happening locally and in the state of Arizona.  To start off my research process, I'm generating some questions about the controversy that address things I'll need to know to construct my own public argument.
