Owners of water rights to Cibola Valley Irrigation and Drainage District (CVIDD) in southwestern Arizona seek approval to sell or lease about 24,000 acre-feet of federal contract Colorado River water to out-of-state buyers. This proposed transaction represents a challenge to the state of Arizona and its efforts to control interstate water transfers. The Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) thus far has blocked any proposed interstate sales or leases.
