Well, just to let you know, the Native Americans did build this system and it was a great system, but the thing that you forgot to mention in it is that there was less evaporation of water with what was built by the Native Americans because there was actually plants, trees that actually covered the canals that actually kept the moisture in the canal. Unfortunately, everything is nothing but concrete now.
So that affects the evaporation because there's no vegetation to support that ecosystem.

they're the reason the valley was inhabitable early on. the settlers got greedy and tried to cut the river off to the people, they fought for the rights and eventually won, now there's a whole day they celebrate winning their water rights❤️

these canals were built by the desert people. including hohokam and hoping. this was 15th century. it took pioneers, civil war soldiers, and settlers in the 19th and 20th century to rebuild and expand them. the Indians left them because of drought and no wanted to continue the growth of vegetables.
