The campaign to bring water to the Arizona desert from the Colorado River system, as well as from other river systems in the Western states, has been a very lengthy one. Model legislation for the present Central Arizona Project was introduced in Congress soon after the Second World War. In 1946, the Central Arizona Project Association was organized as a non profit organization of interested individuals whose purpose was to win support for the project through public relations campaigns. This collection documents the CAPA's history through 1974.
