The Tribe’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) recently completed the administration of a project that improved the timeliness and volume of irrigation water deliveries to over 600 acres of farmland on the Fort Yuma Indian Reservation by replacing two check structures and a culvert under Arnold Road that were constricting the flow of water. In 2016, EDA worked with the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and its Technical Service Center to complete a canal capacity assessment of the Indian Unit, the irrigation system serving Reservation farmland. Through the assessment, the constrictions were identified, and EDA began seeking resources to remedy them.
