Association

Ts Canal 3 (plate VId) is part of an extended fluvial system which also includes Ts Reservoir 3 and 4 and Ts Canal 4. The preserved construction segment point-located in this entry is just a few meters west of Ts BC 36 (map quads B5i, B5m, and B4p).

Topography

This canal runs largely north-south through a narrow defile between a series of elevated ridges. The terrain is not terribly steep for most of its visible course. It seems to draw water from a series of natural basins into a lower area with some evidence of modern cultivation

General Description

The canal is currently visible on the surface only as an irregular watercourse (also visible in aerial photos). But remains of construction are visible in one segment where a wide segment of the canal, lined with basalt and tuff blocks, narrows to a smaller channel, also lined with tuff and basalt.
