Downstream Big Pool stop gate with pedestrian on footbridge, pivot bridge at bottom

The downstream Big Pool stop gate with pedestrian footbridge and pivot bridge for the use of other types of traffic. Stop gates were used to close off sections of the canal prism to safeguard from full drainage of large quantities of water. Stop gates were used on either end of Big Pool to prevent the loss of water if the canal prism should fail on either end.
