	Central Arizona Project Aqueduct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CAP is managed and operated by the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD).
		During project construction, the Orme Division was re-formulated and renamed the Regulatory Storage Division.
		Construction of the project began in 1973 with the award of a contract for the Havasu Intake Channel Dike and excavation for the Havasu Pumping Plant (now Mark Wilmer Pumping Plant) on the shores of Lake Havasu.

		CAP generates revenue in a variety of ways to fund the operations and maintenance of the project and to fulfill its repayment obligations to the federal government.
		The Central Arizona Project is a 336 mile-long canal that brings 1.5 million acre-feet of renewable Colorado River water to the state of Arizona.
		This project impacts all sectors of Arizona's population, from farmers to sun worshipers, from miners to you and I. While the article I read was very positive, there are negative aspects to this project, such as unrestrained growth, destruction of natural habitats along the Colorado River and wasteful agriculture.

		Arizona was allocated 50,000 acre-feet per annum with the remainder of the Upper Basin entitlement divided according to the following percentages: Colorado, 51.75; New Mexico, 11.25; Utah, 23.00; and Wyoming, 14.00.
		Arizona, Nevada, and the United States contended that the tributaries should not be included in the water to be divided, but should remain for the exclusive use of each State.
		The Central Arizona Project was to provide the conveyance and storage facilities necessary to import a major portion of Arizona’s remaining share of Colorado River water into the south-central part of the State.

	Investing in Arizona's Future
		In 1946, the Central Arizona Project Association was formed to educate Arizonans about the need for CAP and to lobby Congress to authorize its construction.
		CAP is now the manager of Arizona's single largest renewable water supply, designed to bring about 1.5 million acre-feet of Colorado River water per year to Pima, Pinal and Maricopa counties.
		Arizona continued to experience high rates of growth and, by the 1980’s, it was clear to the citizens of Maricopa County that they needed a freeway system.

	Insight on the News: Can a river run through the open market? - Central Arizona Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In 1972, the Bureau of Reclamation began building the Central Arizona Project, a 336-mile aqueduct from Lake Havasu on Arizona's western border to three counties in the middle of the state.
		As a result, the Central Arizona Water Conservation District, which oversees CAP and the irrigation districts, is near bankruptcy.
		Arizona has proposed to solve the dilemma by further subsidizing CAP water -- letting farmers have it for $17 per acre-foot of water, less than one-third the cost of delivery.

	EPA: Federal Register: Formula Rates for the Central Arizona Project 115-kV/230-kV Transmission System--Rate Order No. ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The rates for point-to-point transmission service on the CAP 115-kV/230-kV transmission system are determined by combining the average annual amortization costs with the average annual operations and maintenance costs, and dividing them by the average annual contract rate of delivery for the cost evaluation period FY 2001-FY 2005.
		The CAP was developed for Arizona and western New Mexico; the Dixie Project for southeastern Utah; and the Upper Basin Project for Colorado and New Mexico.
		The annual amortization cost component of the CAP rate should be deposited in the LCRBF and applied to the CAP capital investment, however, revenues derived from the operation and maintenance cost component of the CAP transmission rate should be used to offset amounts otherwise due from the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD).

	Central Arizona Project Special Report
		Local officials may herald the return of CAP water to Tucson as the end of the city's "water wars," which featured a pair of controversial ballot measures during the 1990s.
		Arizona officials note that playing good neighbor to Nevada reduces the chances it will try to renegotiate the "law of the river" - the complex body of rules that governs the Colorado.
		But after that, the previous rules are reinstated, in which Arizona's CAP allotment has the lowest priority among lower basin users and is cut first.

	Fact Sheet 170-98
		In south-central Arizona, the conversion of desert and rangeland to irrigated agricultural and urban land has been possible because of the impoundment of rivers, the pumping of ground water, and the importation of water.
		By applying this rate of water-level rise to other areas in south-central Arizona, ground water at a depth of 300 feet today could rise to the land surface in about 70 years if pumping was discontinued and all of the deep-percolation water continued to reach the water table.
		A third option is to convey the leach water and (or) brines by a “brine line” to the lower end of the Colorado River for commercial desalinization (reverse osmosis) and (or) for expanding wetlands at the end of the Colorado River (Bouwer, 1997).

		Background Following the 1983 CAP Water Allocation Decision, the Bureau of Reclamation, the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD), and each of the non-Indian CAP water allottees desiring CAP water entered into three-party water service subcontracts providing for the delivery of CAP water.
		In a time of shortage of CAP water under the effluent pooling provision, the additional CAP water made available as a result of any effluent exchanges with Indian tribes would be shared by all MandI subcontractors, thereby reducing the amount of shortage for each subcontractor.
		The Department believes that effluent producing entities, Indian Tribes, the State of Arizona, and other local organizations should be free to pursue local water management decisions that are in the best interest of the local economies, and that they should not be constrained in such water management decisions by the mandatory effluent pooling provision.
