The Palo Verde Irrigation District is a public utility that manages irrigation water for agriculture across about 189 square miles in Riverside and Imperial Counties, California. It covers roughly 131,298 acres, including 26,798 on the Palo Verde Mesa, where Colorado River water delivered through district canals is supplemented by private pumps to irrigate a portion of the Mesa, while the remaining land relies on deep wells developed by landowners. Citrus is the predominant crop on the Mesa, reflecting the district's agricultural focus. The Colorado River forms the district's eastern and southern boundaries, with the valley extending about 9 miles wide and 30 miles long, at elevations from around 290 to 220 feet above sea level. The soils are alluvial, ranging from clays to silty loams and sandy loams, with permeable sand near the surface, supporting varied irrigation requirements. The district is based in Blythe, California, and recently announced a joint Community Enhancement Collaborative grant program with the Metropolitan Water District, highlighted at the April 2026 Palo Verde Valley Community Outlook Conference.
