Imperial Dam
The Imperial Dam was completed in 1938 for desilting and diverting the water into three aqueducts, The All-America Canal, The Gila River and the Yuma Project. The large gates divert the water to huge settling ponds that then send the water (other than the All-American Canal) "under" the Colorado River to points east.
Two of the gates were open when we walked across the dam.
Water from gates is going to the settling ponds upper right hand of photo.
