Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Santa Cruz-San Pedro River Basins study area is located in southeastern Arizona. It includes 16,501 square miles located in parts of Pima, Cochise, Pinal, Santa Cruz, Graham, and Maricopa Counties. The boundaries of the study area are determined by the drainage areas of the Santa Cruz River, San Pedro River, Willcox Playa, Whitewater Draw, San Bernardino Valley, and those small tributaries which flow into the Gila River from the south and lie between the mouths of the Santa Cruz and San Pedro Rivers. The New Mexico State boundary and the Republic of Mexico National Boundary form the boundaries where drainage areas extend outside of Arizona. These portions outside the state were excluded from the study area. This included 1,200 square miles in the Republic of Mexico and 30 square miles in the State of New Mexico. This inventory is concerned with resource availability, use, quality, problems, and needs. A companion document titled Main Report Santa Cruz-San Pedro River Basin, August 1977, by the Arizona Water Commission and USDA presents alternative plans formulated to maximize national economic development and emphasize environmental quality. This inventory serves as the base for preparation of the Main Report. The Arizona-U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) study serves three objectives: (1) identifying and evaluating alternative solutions to water and related land problems through eligible projects and programs of USDA, (2) developing data and findings for consideration in the Water Commission's state water planning activities, and (3) providing data in support of negotiations with Mexico concerning division of international waters. Although emphasis is placed on USDA projects and programs, opportunities for other agency projects and programs will be pointed out where needed.
