The American Canal is an irrigation canal in the Upper Rio Grande Valley near El Paso, Texas. The canal acquires water from the Rio Grande from the American Diversion Dam at the Texas-New Mexico-Mexico border, 2 miles northwest of El Paso. The canal travels along the Rio Grande for 2.1 miles where it flows into the Franklin Canal and the rest of the canal network.
