CAP staff with Bruce Babbitt at the Mark Wilmer Pumping Plant

CAP staff with former Secretary of the Interior and Arizona Governor Bruce Babbitt at the Mark Wilmer Pumping Plant. As Secretary, Babbitt signed the document that officially named the plant after Mark Wilmer, the lead attorney in Arizona v California, a set of United States Supreme Court cases that dealt with disputes between the two states over water distribution from the Colorado River. The photo was taken during the Water Education Foundation’s Lower Colorado River Tour.
