Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This report presents information in terms of two separate study areas, the Santa Cruz and the San Pedro areas. It covers 16,501 square miles of southeastern Arizona and includes all or portions of six counties (Cochise, Graham, Santa Cruz, Pima, Pinal, and Maricopa), the Coronado National Forest, fourteen natural resource conservation districts, and five Indian reservations (San Xavier, Papago, Maricopa, Gila River, and San Carlos Apache). The Santa Cruz study area includes the hydrologic drainage areas of the Santa Cruz River within Arizona and those south side tributaries of the Gila River between the mouths of the San Pedro and Santa Cruz Rivers. This portion of the total area of study covers 9,483 square miles. The San Pedro study area covers 7,018 square miles and includes the Arizona portion of the San Pedro River, Willcox Playa (a closed basin) Whitewater Draw, and Black Draw hydrologic drainage areas. This report presents information on the water and related land resources of the Santa Cruz-San Pedro River Basins in Arizona. It outlines problems and needs in the area, projects future conditions, and presents alternative plans to meet the needs of the people and to conserve and manage the natural resources. This report contains a summary of basic resource data for the basins.
