AMAFCA Frustum, Kinney Dam • 2023 09-24
'AMAFCA' stands for Albuquerque Metropolitan Arroyo Flood Control Authority. It owns and maintains Kinney Dam (circa 1995), another 'Burque flood control feature that will rarely if ever see water flow over the most eye-catching portions of the installation, like this one.
'Frustum' is the geometry term for a pyramidal shape between two parallel planes, with trapezoidal sides.
The AMAFCA three-cloud logo on the frustum is derived from ancient Pueblo and Navajo (regional native tribes) symbols for rain.
Albuquerque Mayor Harry Kinney (1974-77 and 1981-1985) played major roles in acquiring for the City the former Elena Gallegos Land Grant acreage where this namesake dam is situated.
