My husband is going off to work so I will try my best to write his explaination..... The ones I've seen by the residential homes were in danger of erosion so they put stones and chicken wire covering them. He told me the cement ones I've seen were turned into a park. The water was rerouted to not flow through them. I think I've seen cement ones in town also. They were also near a park and bridge though. As you get further out of town he informed me that the old arroyos are made from dirt and would resemble a dry creek bed on the bottom of a deep ditch. He did say in LA that they are cement. I think I've seen them used in movies. Maybe Chris can chime in here also. I'm guessing from his explaination the arroyos by Jimi are dirt and gravel.
