| 摘要： | The mighty Colorado River supplies potable water to approximately 40 million people in seven U.S. states plus parts of Mexico. The growth of cities such as Los Angeles and Las Vegas would be impossible without it. The same is true for the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas, which are home to roughly 85% of the population of Arizona. Sunny skies and good weather (in non-summer months, at least) may have drawn millions to Arizona's Sun Corridor, but it is water that has fueled the regions stunning growth. That water comes from one of the most ambitious public works projects along the Colorado River, the massive $4 billion Central Arizona Project, described on the systems website as "the most expensive Bureau of Reclamation project ever constructed, and perhaps the most controversial." |
