Pilot Suitability Score
Rank candidate regions by public water pressure and field-level validation value.
This score prioritizes measured pilots. It is not a legal score and does not make claims about water rights, recovery authority, or entitlement.

Reference Ranking
Prototype scores for the first five opportunity zones.
87
Yuma / Lower Colorado River agriculture
Reclamation accounting, ET data, high-value agriculture, Colorado River exposure, and policy visibility make this the best validation corridor.
81.7
Pinal AMA / CAP-groundwater transition zones
Groundwater stress, agriculture, CAP dependence, shortage exposure, and land/water conflict are visible in the same region.
73.7
Recharge/LTSC-heavy AMAs
Phoenix, Tucson, and Pinal AMAs combine stored credits, recovery logic, municipal-ag tension, and shortage planning.
69.4
CAP service-area agriculture and adjacent districts
CAP allocation exposure, shortage risk, wheeling/recovery complexity, and farm delivery spikes interact.
63.3
Municipal-ag interface zones
Growth pressure, assured water supply, municipal providers, and agricultural demand create planning pressure.
