The competition
„The Rio Salado” is a collection of rivers [the White and the Black] that on their way down the mountains east of Phoenix, combine into one. Also known as the Salt, as it makes its way across the Valley floor giving way to the Gila River which is joined a few miles later by the Agua Fria River. It is this convergence that caries what water remains to the Colorado River and finally the Gulf of Mexico.

As with most rivers, The Rio Salado is what made life possible in the Valley, less as a means of transportation, or power generation, but the source of sustenance for agriculture. It’s dramatic swings in the flow - from a trickle to flood, creating ever-changing banks and inconsistent edges, the Rio became as much a line dividing the land than connecting those whose very existence is made possible by its presence. This constant change in flow and the location of the banks gave The Rio an ephemeral quality - enough to the effect that most residents of the Valley refer to it as the Salt River Bed - not the Salt River.

The Salt River Project Utility Cooperative was created in 1903 to manage the river and did so with a series of reservoirs [Roosevelt, Apache, Canyon and Saguaro]. While this management mitigated flooding, it did not eliminate flooding. It is this potential danger, similar to the LA River, that has lead the Valley to look at The Rio not as a source of abundance, but as hazard. In time, with it’s devaluation, the one time gathering spot was either abandoned or used in a manner that reflected that hazard – dumps, gravel pits, industrial facilities, etc.

With limited ability to use or occupy the river bed and added constraint of limited crossings, communities grew around and away from this “scar” until recently. Today, with a new sense of awareness toward our resources, communities all along The Rio’s edge are looking at in in a whole new way. Many are asking, “What can we do to reclaim this forgotten asset?“
