Learn more about the conservation points of pride within the Lower Colorado River Basin and in Arizona and its cities and towns.
Nine Arizona business leaders penned an op-ed stating their support for protecting the Colorado River and its water delivered by CAP.
Millions of Arizonans depend on the Colorado River and this supply is threatened due to drought, overallocation and the unwillingness of some to help protect its future.
Arizona communities are water smart and share a history of collaboration to enhance the quality of life for future generations.
We’re doing our part, along with the other Lower Basin states (California and Nevada), to demonstrate strong and sustained commitments to protecting the long-term health of the Colorado River system.
Today we must come together to protect and defend Arizona’s lifeline.
The 1922 Colorado River Compact was created to apportion the waters of the Colorado River between Upper and Lower Basins states outside of strict prior appropriation.
We must stabilize the Colorado River system to protect more than 43 million people, agricultural heartlands, ecological habitats, and a $4 trillion economy.
Major Upper Basin reservoirs are savings accounts for delivery of water to the Lower Basin during times of drought as required in the Colorado River Compact.
As a concerned Arizonan, I recognize that the Colorado River is Arizona’s lifeline and the Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a critical artery that connects our state to this indispensable resource. I pledge to support actions and partnerships that protect Arizona’s lifeline and to ensure the continued resilience of our water supplies for generations to come.
