Alamo Dam is located in west-central Arizona. The dam is on the Bill Williams River approximately 39 miles upstream from the river's confluence with the Colorado River at Lake Havasu. Alamo Dam and Lake is a multiple-purpose facility providing the following benefits: flood control, water supply and conservation, recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement. Sure, the lake and camping areas get a lot of activity... downstream from the Dam has a lot to offer as well.

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.

Concrete compound weir outlet structure for flood control detention basin on Southbranch Creek. Brown Deer, Wisconsin. Near public library north of Bradley Road. May 2014.
I'm not sure what the purpose of the canal is. I tried to find information about it on line, but wasn't able to do so.
I was able to find an aerial view of this canal & it was constructed to bypass the bend in the river called Horshoe Bend. If the water gets to a certain level it will go into this canal instead of all the flood water continuing on to a very tight bend in the river. I guess the flood waters around this bend were very bad because of the bend. Just guessing. Here is a link to an aerial photo of it

Imagine how awful it would be to wallow around down there in that. Especially in the summer!, with snakes and raccoons and possums and who knows what all.
I cannot imagine that I shall ever become so gripped by madness that I would find myself wallowing around down there in that!

Found this little guy during a flood control channel dredging project. They were know to be in this habitat, so the California Department of Fish & Game and the US Fish and Wildlife Services required specially trained handlers to inspect every scoop of mud/dirt.
This little one was shipped off to the Snake Hotel, then brought back home after the project.
