Description
Description | The Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) in Arizona has implemented solar panels over 3,000 feet of their canals and plans to build floating photovoltaic panels on a reservoir to conserve water and generate electricity. The project aims to power all canal and irrigation operations with solar energy, transforming GRIC into an innovative water user in the West. The West Side Reservoir is expected to be finished by the end of July 2025, with plans to cover just under 60% of the lake's surface area with floating solar panels. |
