San Pedro Dam Test Drilling Underway Highlights War-Need
Commercial drillers guided by U S Army engineers test drill in southeast Arizona to size a San Pedro River dam for postwar use. Proposals include water supply for Fort Huachuca, irrigation for San Pedro agriculture, inland seaplane base, and compensating upper Gila water rights for Morenci Clifton mines. Potential sites include Cascabel Tres Alamos or Charleston with a projected cost much less than an alternative Butte Gila dam.
