Stakeholders Include Farmers and Customers in the District, the Central Arizona Irrigation and Drainage, Ak-chin, and the Bureau of Reclamation. in Addition to Ak-chin, the District Borders the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) to the Northeast and the Tohono O Odham Nation to the South. the District Would Like to Work With Both Native American Communities to Be Good Neighbors and Stewards to Protect the Natural Environment That We Share Along Our Borders.
