Английская Википедия:Canal Lauca
The Canal Lauca is an artificial channel to divert the waters of the Lauca River westward through a canal and tunnel into the Azapa Valley for purposes of irrigation in the valley and hydroelectric-power generation. Its construction began 1948 and water diversion began 14 years later from a dam located about 16 miles southwest of Lago Cotacotani Lake.
The canal lies in the commune of Putre in the Arica y Parinacota Region of Chile. It is Шаблон:Convert long and has a capacity of Шаблон:Convert.[1] It transfers water from the Lauca River into the Rio San Jose for irrigationШаблон:Sfn and hydropower purposes; the endpoint of the canal includes the Chapiquiña power plant which produces Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn Typically about Шаблон:Convert are transferred;Шаблон:Sfn a plan to transfer additional water from Lake Chungara was blocked after litigation by an environmentalist group.[2]
The canal was put into service in 1962 and is owned by the government of Chile.[1] As a consequence of the construction of the canal, the surface of irrigated land in the Azapa valley increased. This also led to increased immigration from Bolivia into Chile.[3] The construction of the canal led to protests by Bolivians[4] and appears to have primarily favoured large agribusiness.[5]
The Lauca River originates at the Laguna Cotacotani, which in turn receives seepage water from Lake Chungara.Шаблон:Sfn It first flows due westward before turning south and later back east into Bolivia.Шаблон:Sfn After draining a watershed of Шаблон:Convert, the river ends in the Salar de Coipasa of Bolivia.Шаблон:Sfn
