Prescott draws much of its municipal water supply from the upper Agua Fria drainage [ [http://www.water.az.gov/dwr/Content/Find_by_Program/Rural_Programs/content/map/UppAguFri.htm Upper Agua Fria Basin] ] . The Agua Fria runs through the Agua Fria National Monument. The river then flows through Black Canyon into Lake Pleasant, a popular recreation area near Peoria, Arizona.

The Central Arizona Water Conservation District operates the Agua Fria Recharge Project , about four miles south of New Waddell Dam, to recharge area aquifers [ [http://www.cap-az.com/static/index.cfm?contentID=65 Agua Fria Recharge Project] ] .
