LOS ANGELES WATER

· William Mulholland convinces voters of LA to provide money for Owens Valley Project

· Owens Valley and Lake at an elevation of 4,000 ft and Los Angeles at an elevation a few feet above sea level è water could arrive under its own power (no pumping or electricity needed) through aqueducts and siphons (over small mountains)

· 1913 Los Angeles aqueduct – 233 miles long) finished within budget and provides 4X water needed by LA

· excess water used to irrigate orchards of San Fernando Valley

· LA expands landholdings in Owens Valley in anticipation of further growth in population

· 1920s drought - Owens Valley water wars, dynamiting of aqueduct

· Eventually, LA purchased most of land and water rights in Owens Valley è exporting most of runoff from watershed as well as the groundwater
