History

Historical Context

In 1983, Tucson faced severe flooding from monsoon rains, causing extensive infrastructure damage. This disaster led to the establishment of the Pima County Flood Control District, which implemented projects that reduced flood risks by 30%. Today, ongoing flash flood warnings underscore the need for continued investment in urban infrastructure to protect residents from future flooding threats.
