Description
The canal, slightly obscured by vegetation, is bordered by a dirt road on the left. Most water from the river is used for irrigation. Canal reduces the flow within the river to minimal levels. As a consequence, many undocumented workers attempting to cross the "River," cannot find it, thinking it to be another canal.
