Carlsbad Irrigation District, Irrigation system in Eddy County, New Mexico, US.
The Carlsbad Irrigation District manages water distribution through an extensive network of canals and dams along the Pecos River in southeastern New Mexico.
The irrigation project began in 1889 when ranchers Charles B. Eddy and Pat Garrett constructed the Avalon Dam to establish water management in the lower Pecos River valley.
The irrigation system transformed the agricultural practices of early settlers, enabling them to cultivate crops in the northern Chihuahuan Desert region.
The district office operates Monday through Thursday from 7 AM to 4 PM, providing services such as Right of Use permits and water allocation management.
The First Bank of Eddy building in downtown Carlsbad houses the district offices, where local officials coordinate water distribution across the agricultural landscape.
