From SRP....

Did you know Arizona's forests provide the majority of the surface water for Valley cities?  Water from snowmelt and runoff travels to the Salt and Verde rivers' reservoirs and into SRP's canal system.  It is then delivered to city treatment plants, which provide water to homes and businesses.

Healthy forests are important to maintaining our water supply, yet many of Arizona's forests are unhealthy and overgrown.  This makes them susceptible to wildfires, which affect both the quality of the water you drink and how much is available. Through support of forest restoration efforts, SRP is helping protect our water supply from the harmful effects of wildfires.  You can help, too!
