Abstract
In 2005, the San Juan River Dineh Water Users, Inc (SJRDWU) a newly organized water users association located on the Navajo Nation in Shiprock, NM, converted Loop Lateral, an earthen ditch, into an underground pipeline. Achievements by completing the conversion include introducing water management to an area with no formalized scheduling, improving the equitable distribution of water delivery, facilitating on-farm development improvements implemented by subsistence farmers, and bringing validity to a fledging organization whose sole purpose is to receive the transfer of operations from a tribal government. The project was completed solely by SJRDWU, an independent Navajo corporation, on Indian trust land with partial assistance from the United States Department of Interior Water 2025 Challenge Grant Program, the Navajo Nation Department of Water Resources and from the Navajo Nation Department of Agriculture.
