Arizona doesn't have many natural ponds and lakes. To provide water for their livestock, early ranchers dug stock tanks in the national forest open range. Now that the national forests are used for recreation these old tanks provide ideal habitat for wildlife as well as popular destinations for hiking. An osprey nest is in the upper part of the picture. This unnamed tank has overflowed from the monsoon rainfalls. It is located at the base of Campbell Mesa in Coconino National Forest, Arizona, USA.

Reclaimed water is increasingly used for a variety of purposes, including the creation and maintenance of artificial lakes in arid regions like Northern Arizona. This practice has several benefits for both the environment and local wildlife. 1) Using reclaimed water for lake creation helps conserve precious freshwater resources. In regions with limited water availability, such as Northern Arizona, it is essential to find sustainable water sources to support ecosystems and human needs. 2) Artificial lakes created with reclaimed water can provide habitat for a wide range of wildlife, including fish, birds, and aquatic plants. These water bodies can attract and support various species, contributing to local biodiversity. 3) Reclaimed water can be used to restore or enhance natural wetlands and aquatic ecosystems that have been impacted by human activities or natural processes like drought. This can help rehabilitate degraded habitats and improve water quality in the area. 4) The use of treated reclaimed water for lake creation can improve water quality by reducing the discharge of pollutants into natural water bodies. Proper treatment ensures that the water is safe for both wildlife and recreational use. 5) In regions susceptible to drought, reclaimed water can provide a reliable source of water for lakes and ecosystems, reducing the dependence on limited freshwater sources and ensuring the continued survival of aquatic and avian species during dry periods. Walnut Canyon Lakes, pictured here, are in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
