California Drought

[thatguy]

Any of you ever see "Cadillac Desert" by Marc Reisner on PBS? There are some spinoff's on Youtube. Interesting stuff, Floyd Dominy and his battle with his arch nemesis David Brower of the Sierra Club.

Mulholland...the pilfering of the Bishop/Owens Valley water resources, the collapse of the dam where Magic mountain now stands...I love reading about the local water wars.

Did you know, MWD was created specifically to manage California's share of the Colorado River system?

Yeah, I've read all about the water wars. Interesting stuff!
Funny thing, it's still going on.
Hard to believe that Mulholland was cleared of wrongdoing
In the dam disaster, even though he was forced to resign.
He SAW the corrosion but said it was no biggy.
