In the area of what is now Phoenix the Hohokam took water from the Salt River. Before the use of modern dams and reservoirs, the Salt River ran year round. In some cases the remains of their canals were reused by European settlers starting in the 1800s. A major, modern canal runs directly by these preserved beds of the ancient canals.
