Let's Rebuild The Rucker Canyon Dam

The Issue

Here in Cochise County, Arizona we have an economic, environmental, educational and community uniting gem, the Rucker Canyon Dam & Park.

When repaired in an economically reasonable manner (3d printing's contour crafting technique can build a 2,000 sq. ft. structure in less than 24 hours, 40%-60% cheaper), this mission can:

Bring additional prosperity with more jobs and greater agricultural opportunities.

Expand water management opportunities like the addition of a mini-hydro power station.

Provide computer education to learn new age (3d, 4d, 5d, laser...) printing skills.

Restoring a beloved park cherished by many generations of residents.

In addition to county benefits, like the Colorado River is a clean water source for Los Angeles, we can be both water & energy sources for our rapidly expanding region. In the face of the world's climate emergency, it is wise to prepare for our increase in population. 

We have many resources available. With Veterans at the helm, the VA already has a 3d printing training program going since 2016. The Department of Energy has a hydro and solar energy power projects.

We can empower our economy with a historic public works project. We can have our park back. We can restore and better manage our aquifer. We can create a strong energy source. What else?

Let's Rebuild The Rucker County Dam - Do It Now!
