A landmark water rights agreement is expected to be approved by the Flagstaff City Council this week, as the Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement Agreement works its way toward approval in Washington, D.C.

The agreement outlines the long-standing rights of the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, and San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe to surface water and groundwater sources across northern Arizona and the Colorado Plateau.
