Rain: It is a weather occurrence not typically associated with Arizona. But those who live in the Grand Canyon state know that once the rain begins it quickly escalates to a torrential downpour. Each summer Arizona rainstorms wreak havoc on Mohave County. Rains not only cause flash floods throughout the region, but also result in significant erosion and sediment run off from the hills surrounding Lake Havasu; leading to discoloration in the lake’s traditional blue waters. In an effort to combat seasonal flood issues in Horizon Six, a subdivision located just outside Lake Havasu City, Mohave County officials commissioned the construction of detention basins and flood control channels that would, among other things, eliminate the threat of flooding for over 100 properties within the subdivision.
