  • The Verde River is the lifeblood of central Arizona, supplying water to farms, yards and gardens, and drinking water and recreation opportunities to thousands.
  • Now, the Conservancy, working with a local ditch company, has instituted an automated ditch irrigation system that will efficiently deliver water to landowners while preserving more water for the river.

“It’s integral to the Verde Valley. This would be an entirely different place if it didn’t have water flowing through it,” says 20-year Camp Verde resident Frank Germinden.
