Summary

Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to contract with the Harquahala Valley Irrigation District for the permanent relinquishment of any portion of its rights to Central Arizona Project (CAP) agricultural water. Allows the Secretary to use such water with its original CAP agricultural priority or to convert it to a specified maximum acre-feet amount of CAP Indian priority water. Requires the Secretary to use such water in Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima Counties to settle water rights claims involving the United States, Indian communities, and appropriate third parties with priority to the Fort McDowell Indian Community and other tribes having claims to the surface water of the Salt and Verde River system. Authorizes the Secretary to provide credit and offset repayment requirements for the Harquahala District and the Central Arizona Water Conservation District as consideration for the fair market value of such water rights.
