Which canal is longer, the Central Arizona Project or the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel?
Central Arizona Project The Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a 336 mi (541 km) diversion canal in Arizona in the United States. The aqueduct diverts water from the Colorado River from the Bill Williams Wildlife Refuge south portion of Lake Havasu near Parker into central and southern Arizona. The CAP is the second largest and expansive aqueduct system ever constructed in the United States. CAP is managed and operated by the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD). It was shepherded through Congress by Carl Hayden.
Keswick Dam Keswick Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Sacramento River about 2 mi northwest of Redding, California. Part of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Central Valley Project, the dam is 157 ft high and impounds the Keswick Reservoir, which has a capacity of 23800 acre feet . The dam's power plant has three turbines with a generating capacity of 117 megawatts (MW), which, in 1992, was uprated from its original 75 MW. The dam and reservoir serve as a forebay to regulate peaking power releases from the Shasta Dam upstream.
