Work launched on San Carlos water project
Machinery unloaded at San Carlos as irrigation work begins. Sr Francisco Liena says the northern main ditch will run 17 kilometers from springs north of the San Diego River to Centennial Dam. Water will then move via the current canal to Balcones pumps lifting from the Rio Grande. Nearby communities in the Rio Grande valley will receive irrigation water as planned. An American contractor will hire American technicians while workers will be Mexicans.
