Colorado River shortage declaration would mean less water for Pinal farmers
by Aaron Dorman | Casa Grande Dispatch
A long-feared Colorado River water reduction for Pinal County farmers is close to becoming a reality.
With continuing drought along the Colorado River Basin, the Central Arizona Project and Arizona Department of Arizona Water Resources issued a joint statement Friday morning on the impact of anticipated shortages.
A shortage declaration on the Colorado River would result in a major cut to Arizona’s share of that water.
