Brawley Wash Flood Solution Plan

Pima County’s Flood Control District is rolling out a bold new plan to tame flash floods and erosion in the Brawley Wash watershed — a 200,000-acre stretch from Pinal County to Three Points that transforms from dry land to raging river during monsoons. After years of studying how decades of development have disrupted natural drainage, they’ve pinpointed three high-impact sites to fix. Plans include reshaping earthen berms on farmland to let water flow naturally and soak in, not erode. Before any construction, they’re partnering with the USDA to ensure solutions won’t harm homes, roads, cultural sites, or farmland — all while protecting the region’s future with long-term, nature-based fixes funded by an NRCS grant.
