Boca Toma Weir

Boca Toma, also called Boca de la Zanja, is a small weir on the Chubut River in Chubut Province, Argentina completed in 1919.

It is a wall that causes a steep drop in the river, allowing water to be diverted into irrigation canals.

Because the area has very low rainfall, this dam allows irrigation in the river valley.
