What Arizona Is Hiding Beneath Its Desert SHOCKED Scientists

Arizona is enormous — but almost everyone lives in just a small part of it.

So why is so much of the state nearly empty?

In this DiscoverTube investigation, we look at the strange geography behind Arizona’s population map: vast tribal nations, huge areas of federal land, military bombing ranges, remote desert wilderness, the Grand Canyon cutting off the Arizona Strip — and one problem that connects almost everything.

Water.

Millions of people now depend on a desert water system built around the Colorado River, groundwater and hundreds of miles of canals. But as reservoirs decline and water negotiations become increasingly difficult, Arizona faces a much bigger question:

How long can one of America’s fastest-growing desert regions keep growing?

From Phoenix to the Grand Canyon, the Barry M. Goldwater Range and the remote Arizona Strip, this is the hidden reason the biggest part of Arizona remains almost completely empty.
