The purpose of the Cochise Conservation and Recharge Network (CCRN) is to implement a regional network of water-management projects that meet the long-term needs of the Sierra Vista Subwatershed. These projects include conservation easements to preclude future groundwater pumping as well as constructed basins to recharge storm water and treated effluent that replenish the regional aquifer and help sustain river flows. The vision is a flowing San Pedro River, the conservation of water resources and a vibrant local economy. CCRN was formed 2015 by the City of Sierra Vista, Cochise County, Hereford Natural Resource Conservation District, and The Nature Conservancy. The City of Bisbee joined in 2016.
