Re: Boating near Phoenix
Think of it this way, Phoenix and its suburbs have grown into one of the larger metropolitan areas in the U.S.. Giant cities the size of Phoenix require massive amounts of water to supply critical services to its citizens. How is it possible for the Phoenix metro area to sustain its water needs in the middle of the desert? The answer - a massive system of lakes that store snow melt off from the surrounding mountains, and a canal system that brings Colorado river water across the state. Add that together and you are left with a lot boating surface in the desert, and hundreds of warm sunny days. Additionally, Phoenix has a solid service support environment so that all maintenance needs can be met.
