About the book
"Fuel for Growth describes and interprets the history of water resource development and its relationship to urban development in Arizona's three signature cities: Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff. These three urban areas could hardly be more different: a growth-oriented metropolis, an environmentally conscious city with deep cultural roots, and an outdoor-friendly mountain town. Despite these differences, community leaders and public officials of the cities have taken similar approaches to developing water resources with varying degrees of success and acceptance.". "The book traces water development from the era of private water service to municipal ownership of water utilities and examines the impact of the post-World War II boom and subsequent expansion. Taking in the Salt River Project, the Central Arizona Project, and the Groundwater Management Act of 1980. Kupel explores the ongoing struggle between growth and environmentalism. He advocates public policy measures that can sustain a water future for the state."--BOOK JACKET.
