	Imperial Dam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Imperial Dam is a dam near Yuma, Arizona (USA), built in the 1930s.
		Because it was built between 1932 and 1940, The Imperial Irrigation District (IID) relied on water from two temporary canals: The Inter-California canal and the Imperial canal (Alamo river).
		The dam was built with three sections; the gates of each section hold back the water to help divert the water towards the desilting plant.

	The Three Gorges Dam Project - constructing the largest dam in the world
		It was his enthusiasm, along with that of Zhou Enlai, that precipitated the construction in the 1970s of the Gezhouba Dam on the Yangzi, the precursor to The Three Gorges Dam.
		A corollary to the flood control benefit of the three gorges dam project is the plan to construct a 600 kilometer canal from the three gorges reservoir to Beijing.
		One of these, the Gezhouba Dam, the first dam to be built on the Yangzi, was partly intended as a direct precursor to the Three Gorges Dam.

		At Imperial Dam, the bulk of the river's flow is shunted through a sequence of sinuous channels and desilting ponds to remove suspended mud from the water before it is dumped into the All-American Canal.
		Imperial Valley farmers avoid this by literally flooding their fields to flush out the salt, which is carried away in runoff from the fields through an elaborate system of underground drains.
		Imperial Valley farmer Ronnie Leimgruber, checking his alfalfa crop, is sensitive to charges that farmers in the Imperial Valley waste tremendous amounts of water on their crops.

	Potential Impacts to Salton Sea of Water Transfers
		Water destined for Imperial and Coachella Valleys is diverted from the Colorado River into the All-American Canal at Imperial Dam, and water for the Mexicali Valley is diverted into the Alamo Canal at Morelos Dam, a mile downstream of the Baja California-California boundary.
		A geothermally-active region of the Imperial Valley lies to the southeast of the Sea near the mouth of the New and Alamo Rivers.
		By contrast, the average annual salinity at Imperial Dam for the period 1983-1991 was 668 ppm, a reduction of 163 ppm.

		Laguna Dam, an original feature of the project, is located on the Colorado River 13 miles northeast of Yuma, Arizona, and about 5 miles downstream from Imperial Dam.
		The original purpose of this dam was to divert Colorado River water to the project area.
		In 1941, a turnout was provided at Siphon Drop on the All-American Canal to supply part of the Yuma Project with water diverted by Imperial Dam, and on June 23, 1948, the turnouts on the California side of the Laguna Diversion Dam were sealed.

	Gila Project
		Imperial Dam, which also serves the All-American Canal System of the Boulder Canyon Project, diverts Colorado River water at its east abutment through the desilting basin into the Gila Gravity Main Canal.
		The Gila headworks of Imperial Dam was constructed with three sets of outlet units, each with three radial gates; water discharges through one gate unit into a settling basin.
		An annual outage of the canal permits draining the basin for inspection, repair, and sluicing the accumulated sediment to the Colorado River below Imperial Dam.

	The Boulder Canyon Project by Wm. Joe Simonds
		The temporary coffer dam consisted of rock and gravel from the tunnel excavations that was dumped into the river from a temporary trestle built for that purpose and was completed in less than 24 hours, diverting the entire flow of the river through the Arizona tunnels.
		As each 50-foot height of dam was cooled to the desired temperature, the contraction joints were grouted and the slot filled with concrete to the top of the cooled section.
		In 1938, Imperial Dam, about 300 miles south of Boulder Dam, was completed, followed by the All-American Canal in 1940, completing those portions of the Boulder Canyon Project and bringing water to the fields of the Imperial Valley.

		PLATTSBURGH — The mission of the century-old Imperial Dam on the Saranac River may change from holding back water to holding back sea lamprey.
		Mike Lagree, president of Trout Unlimited, said his group is in favor of lowering the dam to a point where it will stop the destructive sea lamprey from spreading upriver yet still allow for a possible fish ladder to get salmon and other fish into the inviting breeding pools beyond.
		The dam hasn’t been upgraded to meet safety standards, and it doesn’t keep floodwaters at bay, either, Lagree said.
