Content:
Water and Power: The Conflict over Los Angeles' Water Supply in the Owens Valley while ostensibly concerning California water issues is applicable to water issues in the Western United States in general. This work is an examination of both the politics and causes of the problems surrounding water resource allocation. It is a well researched and annotated work, which aside from a thorough examination of the development of water policy in California, is also a pleasant read. The thirty page bibliography will be most helpful to those who wish to pursue the subject further
