About Us
Our Story
The Water Conservation Management Program (WCMP) was established in 1991, in aneffort to provide technical irrigation water management services, free of charge, to agricultural water users within the Phoenix Active Management Area (AMA) located in the desert of Central Arizona. Cooperation between the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR), Agua Fria –New River and Buckeye Valley Natural Resource Conservation Districts (NRCD), the United States Department of Agriculture – Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and the Maricopa County Municipal Water Conservation District No. 1 established the framework and funding for the launch of the mobile irrigation laboratory program
Our Approach
We believe that effective water management is rooted in a deep understanding of both the science behind irrigation and the practical realities of farming. Our approach includes:
- Comprehensive Assessments: We begin with a detailed analysis of each farm’s current irrigation system to identify areas where water use can be optimized.
- Tailored Solutions: Recognizing that every farm is unique, we provide customized recommendations that address specific challenges and opportunities.
- Ongoing Support: From initial consultation through to the implementation of new practices, our team is dedicated to providing continuous support and guidance.
- Education and Innovation: We not only implement modern irrigation management strategies but also empower farmers with the knowledge and tools needed to sustain these improvements over the long term.
