Butte Basin Management Co. provides land and water resource management for agricultural operators, districts, and landowners — from water rights administration to flood-basin stewardship.
We work at the intersection of land and water — helping owners, operators, and public agencies manage both as one connected system.
Administration of surface and groundwater rights, transfer agreements, and seasonal allocation planning for districts and private holders.
Leasing, easements, and long-term land use planning for row crop, rice, and orchard ground across the basin.
Canal, pump, and delivery system oversight — capacity planning, maintenance scheduling, and district coordination.
Seasonal basin operations, levee inspection cycles, and coordination with reclamation and flood control agencies.
Permitting support, wetland and habitat mitigation, and reporting for state and federal environmental requirements.
Parcel, allocation, and infrastructure records maintained in mapped, auditable form for every property we manage.
We start with what's on the ground and what's on record — water entitlements, easements, infrastructure condition, and compliance history.
Day-to-day administration of leases, deliveries, maintenance, and agency correspondence, with a single point of contact.
Allocation logs, inspection reports, and financial statements delivered on a schedule you can plan around.
Long-range recommendations on infrastructure investment, land use, and water strategy as conditions in the basin shift.
"The basin doesn't separate land from water, and neither do we. Every acre we manage is tied to a delivery schedule, a levee, or a right — we treat the whole system as one client."
