The name SaltRiver Project is also used to refer to the improvement projects along the SaltRiver.
In 1903, several of the settlers formed the SaltRiver Valley Water Users' Association, jointly pledging 200,000 acres (809 km²) of their land as collateral for a federal government loan for improvements along the SaltRiver designed to improve storage and stability.
Over the next several decades, a series of major improvements along the Salt and Verde Rivers would raise the number of reservoirs in the district to 6, and at the same time SRP was constructing and maintaining a number of other electrical generating stations throughout the state.
That rivers, streams and wetlands occupy one half of one percent of the state demon-strates that these are rare and valued natural resources, to be used as well as treasured and, therefore, managed carefully.
The river segment of concern was the 55-to-60 mile middle stretch of the river, from Taco, north of Clarkdale, to Beasley Flat, south of Camp Verde.
The river is perennial, undammed, with intact riparian areas, and is said to support one of the richest wildlife populations in the United States--345 species of birds, 82 species of mammals, and 47 species of reptiles and amphibians.
