What is a Zanjero?

Zanjero (zahn-HARE-ro) is a South Western name for “ditch rider” or “ditch tender”. For as long as there have been water canals, there has been the Zanjero controlling water flow in the canals. Starting in the 1800’s, Zanjero’s were the most powerful people in town where water was of main concern. They often traveled hundreds of miles along canals, originally by horse, and opened head gates to release water from the major canals into smaller canals and pipes to deliver water to people and grow our food. Zanjeros also kept track of their customers and their welfare and even served as sworn peacekeeping officers solving disputes between neighbors.

We are modern day Zanjero’s, recognizing the fundamental importance of sustainability to a community’s well-being, and implementing a holistic approach to water resource management, power and energy, and community stakeholder outcomes.
