Concrete Lining Stops Leaks But Neighbors Sue for Water

摘要

By the end of May, California's Imperial Irrigation District will award contracts estimated at $136 million for construction of a 50-ft-deep, 23-mile-long canal to replace parts of a canal built in 1942. It is the largest part of a $219-million program to eliminate seepage in the transport of Colorado River water to Southern California's Imperial and Coachella valleys. Completion of the program is set for 2008.
