What is Central Arizona Project (CAP)?

Maybe you know that every Arizonan is connected to CAP, a canal system that brings water from the Colorado River at Lake Havasu, through Phoenix to south of Tucson. You may even know it serves Maricopa, Pinal and Pima counties. That’s a start – but there’s a lot more to know, especially now as Arizona grapples with drier conditions.

If you’re interested in learning more, including how CAP works, where the water comes from, our history and future, CAP University may be for you!
