The Riverside Diversion Dam (or simply the Riverside Dam) was a diversion dam on the Rio Grande to the southeast of El Paso Texas. The dam was owned by the United States Bureau of Reclamation and diverted water into the Riverside Canal for use in irrigation in the El Paso Valley.The dam became obsolete with completion of a cement-lined canal carrying water from the upstream American Diversion Dam to the head of the canal. It was partially removed in 2003.
