Unlike other areas in the Sonoran desert, the Palo Verde Valley had water available prior to construction of the Palo Verde Diversion Dam. However, construction of dams upstream of the Palo Verde on the Colorado River lowered the elevation of the Colorado River and made it difficult for the irrigators in the valley to divert river water. The Palo Verde Diversion Dam was built, therefore, not to deliver water, but to guarantee the supply of water.
