_A Grandfathered Water Right(GFR) grants the authority to a landowner or lessee of the land within an Active Management Area(AMA) to withdraw groundwater from a non-exempt well(> 35 gallons per minute) for an irrigation or non-irrigation use, depending on the type of GFR, as described in the Arizona Groundwater Management Code.

Irrigation Grandfathered Rights IGFRs There are ~22,000 groundwater rights in AZ with POU layer. More info https://new.azwater.gov/news/articles/2019-04-01 Note that the annual allotment of each right. is the permitted volume.
We need to add a unique type for these GW water rights that make them different than the rest of GW rights in AZ.
