The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District is a service agency created and supported by the Cities of Fresno and Clovis, as well as the County of Fresno, to provide flood control, urban storm drainage, and water resources management within District boundaries. We are a special-purpose district established by local voters in 1956.

The District provides flood control and urban stormwater services within a 399 square-mile watershed located between the Kings and San Joaquin Rivers. It is responsible for flood control, urban storm drainage, groundwater recharge, recreation and open space, and stormwater quality. The service area is home to roughly 900,000 people and includes both urban and agricultural land uses.

The rural flood control system captures flood flows originating in the nearby Sierra Nevada foothills. It consists of a planned network of dams, reservoirs, channels, and streams that prevent floodwaters from inundating homes, businesses, and farmland.

The Fresno/Clovis metropolitan area is served by an urban drainage system that collects rain falling on the cities. This system includes approximately 775 miles of constructed pipeline and 157 stormwater retention basins.
