The water is used by the Phoenix metropolitan area for municipal, industrial, and agricultural purposes. The storage capacity of the reservoirs is 2,910,200 acre-feet (3.5897 × 10 9 m 3 ) for Roosevelt, 245,100 acre-feet (302,300,000 m 3 ) for Apache, 57,900 acre-feet (71,400,000 m 3 ) for Canyon, and 69,800 acre-feet (86,100,000 m 3 ) for ...
