Document Description
The Gorman Creek Improvement Channel is part of the conveyance system for providing over 525,000 acre-feet/year of State Water Project water to Southern CA. It is a concrete-lined trapezoidal aqueduct (canal) with a flow capacity of 900 cubic feet per second. On September 10, 2007 the GCIC was drained, inspected, and found in critical need of repair, because any further use was likely to result in significant damage or complete failure of the concrete liner.
