Rio Verde Area Drainage
Master Plan
Maricopa
County, Arizona
The purpose of the
Rio Verde Area Drainage Master Plan (ADMP)
was to identify the flooding problems, flooding
sources, and flooding hazards in the Rio Verde
area and to identify alternatives to mitigate
the identified concerns. Development is occurring
rapidly in this area and existing and potential
flood control problems needed to be identified.
Alternative solutions were developed to either
reduce flooding through structural means,
identify flooding hazards through floodplain
delineation, manage development by producing
guidelines, or a combination of all three.
The ADMP boundary limits are McDowell Mountain
Regional Park boundary limits to the south,
the top of the watershed limits at approximately
115th Street alignment to the west, approximately
Tonto National Forest boundary limits to the
north, and the Verde River to the east. This
area encompasses approximately 50 square miles.
