Two devices used for the protection
Of the canal deserve notice. one is 20
keep Il from stopping over 4 little
spill on the lower side might speedily
wash a gully that would not only empty
the canal, bat might soon be 30 much
Of canyon that Il would give a new
engineering problem to get across II.
Where the incline Is 80 nearly perpen-
dicular no chance OF a break must be
left Accordingly an automatic spill
way IL provided. 80 that when the
water reaches a certain height In the
ditch the rise OF the water alone raises
water gate and the surplus goes ca
reening down a channel prepared for H.
The second device referred to Ia that
whereby a stream crossing the path Of
the ditch IL led hArmlessly over Il, but
contributes water In 30 far a. such con-
tributiOn IL needed. The method adopt
cd was TO lead the stream over the
ditch. The ditch follows the side OF the
ravine until Il interseets the water
course. Then numing ls pushed back
to bedrock In the atream'Stourse. and
Il Ia made 20 jump the ditch. Right
over the ditch is placed a grating Of
heavy timbers 90 inclined that rocks
and drlftwOod DO not lodge. but are
washed over without resistance. while
the water flows through the grating
into the ditch. This lands the debris
far down the mountain side, but saves
the precious water. or 90 much OF Il az
the canal Is able TO carry at a given
time.
When. after more than two yeara OF
work. the canal was finished In 1894. Il
was found 20 deliver into Chambers
lake a constant flow OF water OF 49,
cubic feet per second. The value OF
this water was so great that the cana
paid for itself the first season after Ia
completion.
