The Acequia Lock

SSC 22nd November 2025 - Locked / Lock

 

Acequia is the Spanish word for irrigation ditch and that's the word used here in Albuquerque. Of course the ditch is dry during the winter. This one has a wooden lock to control the water flow. I like how the screw rod and turn wheel are used to raise and lower the lock. Simple, but works well.
