Description:Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Bureau of the Los Angeles Aqueduct to the Board of Public Works: November 30th, 1908 Up to date, about feet of canal have been excavated, the progress of the last two months accounting for more than one-half of it, due to the fact that the difficulties spoken of are being rapidly overcome. Dredge No. 2 was designed, having in mind all the defects in No. 1, and will no doubt from the first prove an efficient and economical machine. It was originally intended that this portion of the Aqueduct should have a capacity of 700 second feet. After the work was begun, it was found fully as economical to dig this canal of larger section than originally intended, which has the effect of lowering the high water flow line in the canal, and keeping the wetted section deeper down in the saturated soil of the valley. This change will result not only in a saving of loss by seepage from the ditch, but an actual accretion of water that in all probability will amount to more than 25 second feet in the first twenty miles of canal. This added quantity of water will of course be more available during periods of low flow than in the periods of high water, which is a manifest advantage. A larger portion of the stream flood ow may be diverted by thus increasing the capacity of the main canal.
