Rider Contacts
Ditch Riders,
or Irrigation System Operators, are the heart and soul of the Middle Rio
Grande Conservancy District. They
monitor our 1,200 miles of ditches, drains, canals and laterals, and ensure
that irrigators get their water. They
are also charged with enforcing the strict rotation and scheduling system
that we have implemented over the past several years. That rotation and scheduling system ensures
that all irrigators are treated fairly and that everyone gets their water on
schedule. The system is based on
moving blocks of water around the irrigation works. It means that upper ends of canals are
irrigated first, and the lower ends later. The system helps us all use water more efficiently. Irrigators must schedule water deliveries
with their Ditch Riders 24-to-48 hours in advance. Here are the Ditch Riders’ contact numbers.
