I still spend time in Tucson

But there is a history of water feuds, and if you look at some of the stories concerning Rosemont, you can see some of this activity

Arizona and Tucson are living on very tight allocations of Central Arizona Project, CAP, water sourced from the Colorado River

There is an awareness among the population that access to the water is fundamental to the sustainability of populations living there

They are responding politically to any initiatives to tap into their little stream

...and to try and create a major new user on Tucsons doorstep will be met with resistance

Not sure if any use is grandfathered

...why I moved to Portland
