Arizona/Saudi relations go back long before Fondomonte
Arizona's relationship with the Arabian peninsula goes back well before Saudi-linked company Fondomonte began buying up agricultural land in the La Paz County desert in order to farm alfalfa that is shipped halfway across the world. It pre-dates the Saudi Kingdom, Arizona statehood and even the US Civil War. This week, we listen in to an episode of Tapped, AZPM's podcast about water in the southwest, that takes us through that long history and how Saudi Arabia's unregulated water use in our state is impacting rural Arizonans.

Wa:k–where the water goes in
