Safford field office of BLM is about as far from the Kingman field office, as you can find in Arizona. But Kingman is not moving because Washington has told them to delay.

Arizona is moving toward groundwater management in Mohave County. None now, but the clock is running out. The Saudis called attention to the problem, by farming to export feed for their dairy cattle.
