Alamo Releases
CAP monitors changes in water quality due to releases from Alamo Dam to the Bill Williams River. General information about Alamo Dam and the Bill Williams River is available on the US Army Corps of Engineers Alamo Dam webpage.
Deliveries
CAP makes reliable deliveries of Colorado River water to Maricopa, Pima and Pinal counties.
Lake Pleasant
Lake Pleasant is CAP’s storage reservoir, providing flexibility to balance Colorado River water supply diversions and customer deliveries, and maintaining the CAP system and energy costs.
