I don't think Arizona gets any potable water from Mead or Powell...
just boat recreation ;-) Most of that water goes to Las Vegas and Los
Angeles.
Although there IS a canal from the Colorado River stretching east to
Tucson for agricultural irrigation.
Phoenix water is from wells, Horseshoe Reservoir, and the lake string
of Theodore Roosevelt, Apache, Canyon and Saguaro Lakes... all fed
from snow-melt... presently at overflow condition, water running down
the Salt River thru town, with several roads closed and even a ****tion
of Loop 202 flooded.
