Coachella Canal
The Coachella Canal is a 122 mile long irrigation canal that provides irrigation water from the All-American Canal to the Coachella Valley. The canal was completed in 1949 and is currently operated by the Coachella Valley Water District. Construction of the canal began in the 1930s but was interrupted by World War II. After the war, work was resumed on the canal and deliveries of water began in the late 1940s.[1] 33°26′59″N 115°42′32″W / 33.4497510°N 115.7088806°W / 33.4497510; -115.7088806[2]
