1. ANS & IPM in the Central Arizona and Salt River Projects Major conduit of ANS Critical partners in IPM

3. CAP and SRP are major aquatic resources in Arizona Include over 800 km of major aqueduct Includes over 1,000 km of minor canals CAP includes Lake Pleasant SRP includes Roosevelt, Apache, Canyon, Saguaro, Horseshoe, and Bartlett Lakes

4. Stakeholders Governments Urban water users Farmers Developers Aquatic recreation Fish and wildlife

5. CAP ANS Issues Source water from the Colorado River Transport of exotic fishes, bivalves, aquatic weeds Year-round water movement

6. SRP ANS Issues Source water from the Bradshaw and White Mountains Multiple recreation lakes in close proximity to metro area Transport of exotic fishes, bivalves, aquatic weeds Year-round water movement

7. ANS Management implications for operations Aquatic weeds impede flow Concern over introduction of Zebra mussels and other bivalves Taste and odor problems for potable water Deposition of sediments

8. Traditional methods of management Algae and weeds - chemicals and physical Exotic bivalves - molluscides Taste and odor algae - chemicals and carbon filtration Bar grates for large fish

9. Integrated Pest Management Education Exclusion Monitoring Control Eradication?

10. Integrated Pest Management - Education Operating Staff Management Recreation public Other stakeholders

11. Integrated Pest Management - Exclusion Work with Task Force to avoid introduction Control structures at inflow Recreation public Other stakeholders

12. Integrated Pest Management - Monitoring Collectors Staff inspections SCUBA inspections Remote sensing Other agencies staff and public

13. Integrated Pest Management - Control Algae and weeds - triploid grass carp Exotic bivalves - triploid bighead carp? Aquatic weeds - nutrient management Dry down Chemicals

14. Additional Integrated Pest Management - Control Watershed monitoring - (Colorado Basin, Salt River, Bill Williams River) Limit transport of exotics - aquaculture, recreation Use of water for recharge - basins ideal for exotic plants

15. Future Management Issues Further reduction in irrigation and more urban supply - better water quality Large amounts for recharge projects - need to avoid plugging Require more input to watershed management Protection of native fish, control of exotics
