Description
Description | The Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a multi-billion-dollar network of concrete aqueducts and pipelines that delivers drinking and irrigation water from the Colorado River to hundreds of thousands of residents in Southern and Central Arizona. The project includes water recharge basins in the Avra Valley to store water in aquifers for later use. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is considering proposals to cut CAP water deliveries by 32% to 98%, or halt deliveries entirely under a 'dead pool scenario'. The project has been critical for water supply, economic growth, and groundwater stabilization in the region since its authorization in 1968 and delivery start in the early 1990s. |
