Welcome to the Buckeye Water Conservation and Drainage District website. BWCDD owns and operates the Buckeye Canal, which delivers nearly 130,000 AC-FT of irrigation annually to over 16,000 acres. Founded in 1885, the Buckeye Canal has a rich history in providing irrigation for over 130 years. Predating Arizona statehood, the Buckeye Valley and the Town of Buckeye are named after the canal. One of the three founders, M.M. Jackson, named the canal after his home state of Ohio.
BWCDD is an irrigation District with the power of drainage. The primary purpose of the BWCDD is to assist agricultural endeavors by supplying irrigation water and power. It is also organized to protect farmland from alkali damage by running drainage wells. Secondary purposes include providing flood irrigation to homes and construction water to contractors. All power and water are sold within the District boundaries that encompass nearly 22,000 acres (per Maricopa County Assessor's Office). Other endeavors may be undertaken to support these purposes.
