All-American Canal, Water transport infrastructure in Imperial Valley, California.
The All-American Canal extends 82 miles across southeastern California, transferring water from the Colorado River to sustain agricultural operations in the Imperial Valley.
The Bureau of Reclamation initiated construction in the 1930s alongside the Hoover Dam project, completing this major irrigation system in 1942.
The canal transformed the Imperial Valley into an agricultural center, enabling local communities to develop farming traditions that continue through generations.
The canal conveys water at a maximum flow rate of 26,155 cubic feet per second, supporting irrigation for 630,000 acres of farmland.
The concrete-lined waterway underwent modifications to prevent annual water losses of 68,000 acre-feet through seepage into the surrounding soil.
