Being in the desert, Phoenix relies on a water supply delivered to the city via a system of canals which divert water from the region's rivers and lakes, with the largest portion of the city's water coming from the [[Colorado River]] through the [[Central Arizona Project]]'s canal.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://water.ezinemark.com/geography-information-phoenix-az-17ffe0fea6c.html |title=Geography Information: Phoenix, AZ |publisher=ezinemark.com |access-date=February 3, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304001606/http://water.ezinemark.com/geography-information-phoenix-az-17ffe0fea6c.html |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The city's electrical needs are served primarily by Arizona Public Service, although some customers receive their electricity from the [[Salt River Project]] (SRP). The main sources of electrical generation are nuclear and coal power plants. Arizona is home to the [[Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station]], the largest nuclear-generating facility in the United States. SRP is also the largest water provider in Phoenix.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.azenergy.gov/doclib/AZ_Energy_Infrastructure.pdf |title=Arizona's Energy Infrastructure |publisher=azenergy.com |access-date=February 10, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222055115/http://www.azenergy.gov/doclib/AZ_Energy_Infrastructure.pdf |archive-date=February 22, 2014 }}</ref>
