“Agricultural engineer (agronomist) Humberto
Canale was one of the first on the scene in the
late 19th century, assisting in the engineering and
development of the canal system from the river.
Canale was instrumental in ensuring the size of
the main canal was grand enough to provide the
quantity of water necessary for the valley’s growth
over time, and for the numerous and extensive
lateral canals which brings the water into the farms.”
