The original canal system was created by the Native Americans and the existing canals were basically improvements on what already existed. I grew up near the Salt River in Mesa and fish below saguaro lake still. These videos are fascinating as I can't explore like this myself. This does not happen often and for this long so it is awesome you are documenting it.

In wwii, German POWs were held in Papago Park. They planned their great escape, they saw on a map that they were close to the salt river, so they dug an escape tunnel, they managed to get a raft and headed to the salt river. It didn’t work out like they had hoped.

Just want to clarify something I think you skipped over. Most of the runoff will be absorbed into the aquifer and recharge our underground wells which is where the majority of us get our water.

@willhurst Жыл бұрын

Great point, people get up in arms about us release water into the desert. They don’t understand that it goes back to replenishing the natural resources in one form or another. Either by absorption or evaporation. The evaporation carries it to higher ground where precipitation refills the reservoirs, lakes, rivers and canals. Absorptions refills our natural underground water tables.

Heading into Tempe on Mill Ave just before the Salt River, looking to the right, there used to be an old house that was built in the Art Deco style. It was right where the 202 stands today. All by itself, now long gone. I do not know who lived there. This was long before Tempe Town Lake. It always caught my eye. I left the Phoenix area in 1973. Still come back every now and then. When we moved there, the population was 350,000 people in phoenix itself. I miss the Desert.

Lived in PHX for 20 years until 1992 or 1993. I used to use the canals daily on my dirtbike as my personal freeway around town. Could easily commute from 7th Ave and Camelback to ASU in about 7-10 minutes. Tempe Town Lake was just starting to be excavated, but most had no idea what was to come. Mill Avenue bridge was the only bridge in Tempe, and it ran both directions. Alma school had NO bridge...the road just dipped across the riverbed. When it flooded, you found another way. The big flood in 1980 wiped out EVERY-SINGLE bridge in the valley except for the Mill Ave bridge, and Central Blvd's bridge.

Lack of plant life along the canals is by design. The type of plants that live along canals suck up a lot of water, and the canals in the metro area are to move water, not lose it to the plant life. Most (if not all by now) of the canals are concrete lined to prevent water loss.

Old timers say they once had cottonwoods along them. But cottonwoods are thirsty trees and get very big. There's probably a little bit of seepage anyways. I always notice that people in Mesa who have backyards facing the canal have really big, healthy trees.

Los Angeles River being recreated remains the gold standard in how to change these systems into an actual aquifer and *"living space"* meaning no trash and a vast green space for walking, fishing, bird watching...apparently rattlesnake watching...but yes something you want to experience and not have be *"lived in"* per se. There are options related to rent control etc which both New York City and New York State implemented long before I was even born that have been proven to work so I don't understand why more Cities don't try out these approaches as #over_development causes an enormous amount of poverty amongst many other issues of course as well.

A lot of people have been requesting the numbers in metric format.....I'll have to do the conversions but it shouldn't be too difficult....that's what we have Google for!

Great video! You were concise and to the point with lots of information. The only thing I would have added is where does the Salt river go? All the way to Mexico? Any water actually flows out to the ocean or does it just peter out in the desert?

@thomasrinschler6783 Жыл бұрын

The Salt flows into the Gila, which flows into the Colorado at Yuma.

Ahhh! Didn't know there was a dam over there until I looked this up, " only lived in AZ a few years" but I will put that one on the list!

Does any of this water make its way to the Colorado River and the Colorado River Delta?

@jessiesdroneadventures7464 Жыл бұрын

It is a tributary to the Gila river. They join just SW of Phoenix. The Gila flows into the Colorado River just north of Yuma AZ.

I dont know the numbers behind it, but im sure some of it does. But im also certain that a lot of that water is pulled out for agriculture, drinking and other uses

@CPcamaro Жыл бұрын

Probably depends on whether Painted Rock reservoir NW of Gila Bend is full yet or not. If so, then they would have to be releasing water there and then yeah it would probably make it to the Colorado.

Yeah all the tributaries in the Phoenix metro area, empty into the Gila and make their way to Colorado near Yuma, eventually if they are released from the Painted Rock Reservoir.

Absolutely! lot of the water is being stored at painted rock reservoir and they are currently releasing water as well. I just uploaded a video on painted rock reservoir as well

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 my great great grandparents lived in Florence back in the 1800’s, before they dammed all the rivers. They told my grandpa that paddle boats and steamers like you see on Mississippi, would travel from the Sea of Cortez, up the Colorado and onto the Gila to bring supplies and people to the Florence area. I can’t even imagine how cool it would’ve been to see all AZ’s rivers flowing freely.
