Acequia Conservation Program

Home / Programs / Acequia Conservation Program

Taos SWCD has a long history of assisting local acequia associations and parciantes with irrigation improvement projects. In fact, acequia projects account for approximately two-thirds of all assistance requests received by the District. Taos SWCD utilizes experienced staff and consultants as well as state of the art technology to enhance the design and inspection departments contained within its Acequia Construction Cost-Share Program. Nuestra agua…nuestra vida!
