The Miami Conservancy District is all about water. Protecting. Preserving. Promoting. Their mission is protecting lives, property and economic vitality within the Great Miami River Watershed through an integrated and balanced system that provides unfailing flood protection, preserves water resources, and promotes enjoyment of our waterways. Some of the ways they do this include:
Flood Protection
People and businesses along the Great Miami River in southwest Ohio enjoy life without flooding concerns. MCD’s system of five dry dams, retarding basins, 55 miles of levees, and preserved floodplain provide a nearly unparalleled level of protection.
Water Stewardship
Water is the key to healthy people and healthy communities. MCD monitors and protects our region’s water.
Recreation
And water isn’t just for drinking. Rivers are outdoor playgrounds. MCD is working to bring more and more people to the river.

Great Water. Great Drinks.
Water. You drink it. You grow food in it. You flush your toilets with it. You literally can’t live without it. Without clean water you can’t live a healthy life. From agriculture to manufacturing, most sectors of our economy rely on water. Without water, our economy would grind to a halt. Yet most of us take water for granted.
It’s time to Value Water.
