The Palo Verde Irrigation District is a prominent agricultural district located in Riverside and Imperial Counties, California, covering approximately 189 square miles of territory. With a focus on citrus farming, the district utilizes Colorado River water to irrigate its vast acreage, employing a combination of canals and private pumps. The fertile soils and favorable climate of the Palo Verde Valley make it an ideal region for year-round crop cultivation.
As a leader in water conservation, the Palo Verde Irrigation District collaborates with the Metropolitan Water District to implement a 35-year program that incentivizes farmers to set aside portions of their land, rotate crops, and transfer saved water to urban Southern California. With a commitment to water safety, the district also sponsors an annual program in local schools, educating children about canal safety and promoting responsible swimming practices.
