In the urgent race to find a long-term solution for water, SRP has a bold proposal to add height to an existing dam along the Verde River with new estimates on how many people it could impact. MORE ⬇️
While the Valley has had some of the hottest days of the year so far, there was historic snowfall over the winter.Then as northern Arizona thawed out over the spring with reservoirs replenished, there was so much water it was released into the traditionally dry Salt River bed."To see all that water run down the river is really a missed opportunity, it’s really an opportunity to improve the water resiliency of the state,” said Ron Klawitter, manager of the water system project with SRP.
The big proposal from SRP looks to make the Bartlett dam about 100 feet taller to store more water from the Verde River. Right now, SRP is in the first year of a federal study to see if it can physically be built and safely operate. For this to happen, there would need to be congressional approval.“We fully expect it to be a feasible project. What happens if this project isn’t built is we’ll regularly be releasing water downstream that can’t go to use,” said Klawitter.
The rest would come from the federal government. While the study goes on, the project could last for 15 years.
