All-American Canal (original) (raw)
The All-American Canal is an 82-mile (132 km) long aqueduct, located in southeastern California. It conveys water from the Colorado River into the Imperial Valley and to nine cities. It is the Imperial Valley's only water source, and replaced the Alamo Canal, which was located mostly in Mexico. The Imperial Dam, about 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Yuma, Arizona on the Colorado River, diverts water into the All-American Canal, which runs to just west of Calexico, California before its last branch heads mostly north into the Imperial Valley. Five smaller canals branching off the All-American Canal move water into the Imperial Valley. These canal systems irrigate up to 630,000 acres (250,000 ha) of crop land and have made possible a greatly increased crop yield in this area, originally one of

Er ist die einzige Wasserquelle des Imperial Valley und ersetzte den , der vor allem auf dem Staatsgebiet von Mexiko lag. Am , etwa 48 km nordöstlich von Yuma, wird Wasser des Colorado River in den All-American Canal geleitet. Fünf kleinere Kanäle gehen vom All American Canal ab und verteilen Wasser im Imperial Valley. Dieses Kanalsystem bewässert bis zu 250.000 Hektar landwirtschaftliche Nutzfläche in einem der ursprünglich trockensten Landstriche der Erde. Der All-American Canal ist der größte Bewässerungskanal der Welt und bewältigt eine durchschnittliche Abflussmenge Wasser von 428 m³/s. Das Bauwerk wurde zur Sicherheit auch auf eine größere Wassermenge ausgelegt und kann bei Ausschöpfung des ganzen Kanalvolumens einen theoretischen Abfluss von 740,6 Kubikmeter pro Sekunde (26,155 cubic feet per second) ermöglichen.

Five smaller canals branching off the All-American Canal move water into the Imperial Valley. These canal systems irrigate up to 630,000 acres (250,000 ha) of crop land and have made possible a greatly increased crop yield in this area, originally one of the driest on earth. It is the largest irrigation canal in the world, carrying a maximum of 26,155 cubic feet per second (740.6 m3/s). Agricultural runoff from the All-American Canal drains into the Salton Sea. The All-American Canal runs parallel to the Mexico-California border for several miles. With over 500 people having drowned in the canal since its completion, it has been called "the Most Dangerous Body of Water in the U.S." The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has issued an advisory for any fish caught in the All-American Canal due to elevated levels of mercury, PCBs, and selenium. (en) L'All-American Canal è un canale artificiale lungo 80 miglia (129 km) che funge da acquedotto. Situato in California sud occidentale il canale attinge l'acqua dal fiume Colorado e la convoglia verso l'Imperial Valley. Il canale che è l'unica fonte d'acqua nell'Imperial valley sostituì l', il cui corso era prevalentemente situato in territorio messicano. L'approvvigionamento idrico dell'Imperial Valley tramite l'All-American Canal avviene con l'ausilio di 6 canali di dimensioni inferiori che forniscono acqua ad una superficie di 250.000 ettari. Il canale è il più grande canale di irrigazione al mondo, con una portata massima di circa 740 metri cubi al secondo. Il canale scorre per la maggior parte del suo tratto parallelo al confine tra Stati Uniti e Messico. Dal 1997 oltre 500 persone sono annegate in questo canale, facendo guadagnare a questo corso d'acqua il titolo di canale più pericoloso degli Stati Uniti. (it) Олл-Американ-канал (англ. All-American Canal) — ирригационный канал в штате Калифорния (США), построенный в 1928—1942 гг. Длина — 130 км, в канале используется вода реки Колорадо, 90 % стока которой или 741 м³/сек отводится с помощью плотины в канал, при этом осуществляется очистка воды от взвешенных частиц ила. Ширина основного водотока изменяется от 210 м до 46 м, глубина от 15 м до 2,5 м. Участок основного канала длиной 15 км проходит по государственной границе между Мексикой и США. Средний расход воды — 740,6 м³/с. На канале расположен каскад ГЭС общей мощностью 58 МВт, загрузка электростанций зависит от количества требуемой воды. Общая площадь сельхозугодий, орошаемых с помощью канала, составляет 250 000 га. Канал также является единственным значимым притоком солёного озера Солтон-Си и используется для поддержания его современного состояния. Основной канал не достигает этого водоёма, непосредственно с ним соединён канал Ист-Хайлайн (англ. East Highline Canal), который является одним из его побочных ответвлений, конечная точка последнего в этом бессточном водоёме располагается на высоте 69 м ниже уровня моря. Притоки Солтон-Си, реки Аламо и Нью-Ривер, основной канал пересекает по акведукам, оборудованным водосливами. (ru) |
