Irrigation
Supporting and assisting irrigators is one of the primary reasons that the MRGCD is in existence.
Irrigators are the main and original users of the ditches, canals and acequias within the district boundaries.
Supplying irrigators with water is done as equitably as possible with preference being placed on those irrigators who are current on their assessments and work within the established rules and regulations.
