Urges the federal government to fund and support a comprehensive regional flood control project for the Lower Santa Cruz River watershed in Pinal County, Arizona.

Notes that the watershed has a history of frequent and severe flooding, with six of the seven most damaging floods occurring in the past 50 years, affecting numerous communities, farms, businesses, and critical infrastructure across central Arizona.

Emphasizes that Pinal County was the second fastest growing county in the United States during the past decade with a projected population exceeding one million by 2030, increasing flood risk to residents and economic assets.

Identifies that the watershed covers 8,600 square miles with substantial federal interests and jurisdiction, requiring federal involvement to address the regional flooding problem.

Directs the Arizona Secretary of State to transmit copies of the memorial to the Army Corps of Engineers, the President of the U.S. Senate, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and all Arizona Members of Congress.
