Benefits of Water Storage in Salt River Valley
The Salt River Project supplied water for 203,616 acres with crop value not less than 18 million dollars and livestock output rivaling that figure. Storage at Roosevelt Reservoir conserved about 75 percent of irrigation water, with over 60 percent stored since 1915. Droughts across the nation did not starve Salt River Valley farms, as farmers ordered water and were served promptly. The project’s wealth creation exceeded landowner construction costs this year, marking a remarkable return on reclamation. Arizona’s irrigation potential lies in reservoirs along the Colorado, Little Colorado, Verde, San Pedro and Gila rivers, to be developed in coming years.
