Since 1980 total water use has declined in the state by about 25% while population has tripled (300% growth). New construction is required to use grey water where suitable and it's waster water makes it back as treated or depending on geography is used by Palo Verde nuclear station. This is a non issue. |

Tripling would be 200% growth, quadrupling would be 300% growth. Therefore I wasn't sure which one you meant, and I checked: according to [1] there was roughly a tripling from 1.5M to 4.5M between 1980 and 2020.
