Snow was falling in Gold Canyon when an eager crowd gathered to listen to panelists talk about water and the Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) affecting Pinal County, at the Pinal Partnership monthly breakfast event, moderated by Jordan Rose, Rose Law Group founder and president.
The plan is “a bridge to a dryer future,” Chuck Cullom, manager for the Colorado River Programs for Central Arizona Project (CAP), said.
The DCP has an interstate component, between California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado River users in Mexico, and the upper basin states of Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. In the U.S. it includes agreements among the seven states.
