The South San Joaquin Irrigation District (SSJID) has been serving South San Joaquin County since 1909, providing reliable and affordable irrigation water for agricultural use in Escalon, Manteca, and Ripon. Over the years, SSJID has implemented innovative solutions to ensure water availability, including the construction of reservoirs such as Woodward Reservoir and Melones Reservoir. They have also embraced technology, utilizing a SCADA system and automation technology to operate their Main Distribution Canal.
In addition to their commitment to irrigation, SSJID has been actively involved in fishery research and monitoring programs, focusing on the response of juvenile Chinook salmon to pulse flows and studying the impact of non-native predators on salmon survival. With a rich history of collaboration with Oakdale Irrigation District and the Tri-Dam Project, SSJID continues to prioritize water storage, hydropower production, and distribution efficiency projects to meet the needs of the community.
