Why Now

Millions of Arizonans depend on the Colorado River and this supply is threatened due to drought, overallocation and the unwillingness of some to help protect its future.

Arizona communities are water smart and share a history of collaboration to enhance the quality of life for future generations.

We’re doing our part, along with the other Lower Basin states (California and Nevada), to demonstrate strong and sustained commitments to protecting the long-term health of the Colorado River system.

Today we must come together to protect and defend Arizona’s lifeline.

Add your name to the pledge

As a concerned Arizonan, I recognize that the Colorado River is Arizona’s lifeline and the Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a critical artery that connects our state to this indispensable resource. I pledge to support actions and partnerships that protect Arizona’s lifeline and to ensure the continued resilience of our water supplies for generations to come.
