	Imperial Dam - RecipeFacts
		The Mexican authorities are opposed to the All-American canal lining project, as the leaking water allows Mexican farmers to irrigate their crops with well-water.
		It diverted Colorado River water into three different canals and held the river water until it could be directed into a desilting plant before being released into the All-American Canal, the Gila River, and the Yuma project aqueduct.
		The Gila River and the Yuma project aqueduct branch off towards Arizona while the All-American canal branches southwards for thirty-seven miles before reaching its headworks on the California border and bends west towards the Imperial Valley.

	All American Canal
		The canal was completed in 1940, to replace a previous canal which served the same function, but traveled partly through Mexico (hence the name of the All American).
		This 85-mile long canal brings water from the Colorado River to the citizens and agricultural industry of the Imperial Valley.
		The canal, one of the largest in the United States, travels through one of the hottest and driest places in the country, and is the sole source of water for the nation's fourth most productive, as well as most arid, agricultural region.

	IID - Water
		The All-American Canal is the Imperial Valley's lifeline from the Colorado River.
		The All-American Canal was constructed by the USBR during the 1930s and, in 1940, the first water was delivered to Imperial Valley.
		Approximately 3.1 million acre-feet of Colorado River water is delivered annually through the All-American Canal to nine cities and 500,000 acres of agricultural lands throughout the Imperial Valley.

	Wetlands become a focus in debate over canal lining The San Diego Union-Tribune
		In all likelihood, environmentalists say, the wetlands were created by man. Although there's no conclusive proof, many believe they are nourished by seepage through the sandy soil from the unlined All-American Canal, which for more than five decades has carried Colorado River water to the Imperial Valley.
		For years, the loudest protests came from growers in the Mexicali Valley whose wells are fed by seepage from the canal; the Baja California government estimates that the lining will affect nearly 3,000 acres of prime agricultural land in the valley's northwest corner.
		The water that seeps out of the canal is part of California's 4.4 million annual acre-foot share allotted under the Colorado River Compact, forged in 1922 among seven Western U.S. states.

	CA: CVWD Board Awards Contract For Canal Lining 15-September-04
		In 1980 the first 49 miles of the canal, beginning where it branches off of the All-American Canal in Imperial County, were replaced by a parallel, concrete waterway.
		As part of its 35-year Water Management Plan, the district plans to promote greater use of canal water in lieu of groundwater, and also will be using Colorado River water to recharge the aquifer in the lower portion of the Coachella Valley.
		The portion of the canal that is being replaced begins just north of Niland and concludes in an area north of the western terminus of the Salton Sea, east of Mecca.

	Mexico opposes lining of California waterway
		The All American Canal is located on the U.S. side of the border, between Calexico and Mexicali, yet seepage from the canal provides water to growers in the Mexicali Valley.
		The position of the Mexican government is to oppose construction of a parallel canal to the current one, Derbez said, however if that were done compensation demands would be made for the amount and quality of water that flows to Mexico.
		He said that the possible lining of the canal with cement is a priority concern on the bilateral agenda between Mexico and the U.S. Derbez said that Mexican officials have brought the havoc that modification of the canal would cause to the attention of their U.S. counterparts.

	Panama Canal History - American Canal Construction
		Contractors were not used during the American canal construction period except for special projects such as lock gate construction that required especially experienced workers.

		Native villages and towns in the Canal Zone, in accordance with Articles VI and XV of the 1903 treaty, were required to move.

	Canal Cutoff
		Seepage from the All-American Canal accounts for 10 to 12 percent of the supply to the Mexicali Valley aquifer, but it is by far the purest source, diluting the saltier reserves of groundwater.
		The seepage from the All-American Canal, therefore, has been a 60-year bonus to Mexico, so lining it does not violate the treaty, say officials from the International Boundary and Water Commission, the binational agency that settles water disputes between the US and Mexico.
		To offset damages there, Ybarra says American and Mexican members of the commission are discussing "goodwill offers," such as delivering some of Mexico's Colorado River water through a turnout in the All-American Canal.

	americas.org - Suit Is Filed Over Plan to Line Canal
		The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas, said the project would cause widespread economic and environmental harm by capturing water that now steadily leaks from the All-American Canal, a 65-year-old aqueduct that carries Colorado River water to farmlands in the Imperial and Coachella valleys.
		The canal improvement project, authorized by Congress in 1988 and finally nearing construction, will replace a 23-mile-long section of the canal with a channel lined with concrete, plugging the leaks.
		A spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which owns the canal and is a defendant in the suit, said he had not seen the claim and could not comment.

	Mexico claims right to California's water
		The All American Canal went into service in 1944, with the water supply and amounts to user states authorized by applicable governing agencies.
		And both are highly important agricultural zones, thanks to canals from the Colorado River — with the 80-mile All American Canal on the U.S. side of the border making the Imperial Valley one of the most productive farm areas in the world.
		“The relining of the All American Canal hurts us, it represents a loss for our country of many millions of cubic meters (of water), and possibilities of livelihood for many thousands of Mexicans on the border,” Adame said.

		The preferred alternative is to build a lined canal in the existing cross section (while bypassing the canal flow using temporary pipelines).
