B & W digital scan of LADWP Aqueduct Concreting Lining Crew constructing Open Lined Canal along the Alabama Hills. "Owing to the porous nature of the ground through which the ditch was built, it necessary to concrete it. The side slopes were made flat (1 to 1) sothe concrete could be placed without forms. The canal is located so that it is entirely in cut. The upper wall is well below the ground surface and the lower wall has not more then three feet of back fill."
