The All-American Canal Lining Project Draws to a Close

After years of prolonged negotiations about water supplies and funding, as well as litigation, the All-American Canal lining project has finally reached its conclusion. The State of California and the San Diego County Water Authority have jointly funded the concrete lining of the All-American Canal, which will provide approximately 67,700 acre-feet of water per year for thirsty water interests near the border of Mexico. Water officials and representatives officially dedicated the nearly completed final stretch of 23 miles of lined canal in late April.
