Maintenance continues at Montgomery Locks and Dam on the Ohio River as the original lift gate machinery was positioned into place, April 5. Montgomery Locks and Dam was constructed from 1932 to 1936. The locks opened in June 1936. This facility eliminated the original Locks and Dams 4 (built 1898-1908), 5 (1898-1907) and 6 (1892-1904). These three dams were old-style wooden wicket dams built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to raise the first shallow navigational pool on this stretch of the Ohio.

This Stormwater Quality Structure in Hahn Arroyo basically filters trash and debris out of stormwater flows, as well as diverting irrigation to landscaping along adjacent Paseo del Nordeste Trail.
An arroyo is a water-carved gully or channel. Albuquerque Metropolitan Arroyo Flood Control Authority (AMAFCA) lines them with shotcrete.
Here's an abstract Detail pic from the same Structure.
For a low-res "live" look at the Structure in daylight, here's where AMAFCA hosts views from the livecams it sets up in a number of channels including this one.
A view of the Hahn 'arroyo cam' itself is here.
Location: Hahn Arroyo, off Paseo del Nordeste Trail along the arroyo, just west of San Pedro Blvd NE north of La Corrida Rd NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, 6:18pm
