Which canal is longer, The Central Arizona Project or the Oswego Canal?
The Central Arizona Project
Title: Central Arizona Project
Passage: The Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a 336 mi (541 km) diversion canal in Arizona in the United States.  The aqueduct diverts water from the Colorado River from the Bill Williams Wildlife Refuge south portion of Lake Havasu near Parker into central and southern Arizona.  The CAP is the second largest and expansive aqueduct system ever constructed in the United States.  CAP is managed and operated by the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD).  It was shepherded through Congress by Carl Hayden.
Title: New York State Department of Public Works
Passage: The office of Superintendent of Public Works was created by an 1876 amendment to the New York State Constitution.  It abolished the canal commissioners and established that the Department of Public Works execute all laws relating to canal maintenance and navigation except for those functions performed by the New York State Engineer and Surveyor who continued to prepare maps, plans and estimates for canal construction and improvement.  The Canal Board (now consisting of the Superintendent of Public Works, the State Engineer and Surveyor, and the Commissioners of the Canal Fund) continued to handle hiring of employees and other personnel matters.  The Barge Canal Law of 1903 (Chapter 147) directed the Canal Board to oversee the enlargement of and improvements to the Erie Canal, the Champlain Canal and the Oswego Canal.  In 1967, the Department of Public Works was merged with other departments into the new New York State Department of Transportation.
