The study process was <br />supported by staff from the Arizona Department of Water Resources, the Central Arizona <br />Water Conservation District, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. When special expertise <br />was required, additional support was provided by interested parties and officials from other <br />government agencies. <br /> <br />Figure 1 is a graphical representation of the organization of the Advisory Committee. <br /> <br />The Governor's CAP Advisory Committee <br /> <br />The full committee was comprised of 34 members appointed by Governor Fife <br />Symington. The broad-based committee represented all major water user groups and <br />included members from governmental, business, and environmental sectors. The <br />Committee was geographically diverse by including members from Maricopa, Pinal, Pima, <br />Yavapai and Coconino Counties. <br /> <br />Working Groups <br /> <br />Three working groups were organized from the membership of the full Committee <br />to focus on critical issues and then report their findings to the full Committee. The <br />working groups were initiated in April, 1993 after the background and educational phases <br />of the studies were completed. The working groups topics were financial/legal issues, <br />environmental issues, and Indian issues. Each working group met numerous times. All <br />meetings were open to the public, and group discussion, which included participation by <br />non-Committee members, was encouraged. <br /> <br />FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDA TIONS <br /> <br />5 <br />
