The Flood Control District of Maricopa County - Education Center

The Flood Control District of Maricopa County - Education Center: "One of the many programs of the Flood Control District is educating Maricopa County residents about flooding and flood hazards in an effort to promote flood safety. Newcomers to the County are often surprised to learn the desert holds an immense potential for flooding. In fact, in its history Maricopa County has experienced numerous major floods that have caused millions of dollars of damage.

Over the years, the District has implemented flood control structures, facilities and management plans that have significantly reduced the severity of flooding in the County. Nevertheless, it is important for residents to be aware of the history of flooding in the County and why flooding occurs."
