	Tehachapi Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tehachapi Mountains are a short transverse range in southern California in the United States, running SW-NE to connect the Coast Ranges on the west with the southern end of the Sierra Nevada mountains on the east.
		It is also crossed by the California Aqueduct that supplies water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to Southern California.
		The Tehachapis, though not a long or high mountain range as California mountain ranges go, are regarded by many Californians the dividing feature that separates northern California from southern California (though some contend that southern California extends as far north as the Fresno area).

		A time of unprecedented growth in California has coincided with what many consider to be the end of the dam-building era - an end to the way that new water supplies traditionally have been acquired - and the beginning of a new era of water resources management.
		California has all of the requirements for the development of large amounts of hydroelectric power: mountain ranges of sufficient height and slope to provide the necessary fall, precipitation on the higher elevations so that adequate runoff is available, and ample storage sites.
		California's 1,100 mile long coast contains many distinct habitats and is a vital part of the economic prosperity of the state.

		The California Aqueduct, which brings water from Northern to Southern California, was 15 to 20 feet deep in the area.
		The California Aqueduct is 444 miles long and moves millions of gallons of water a day through a series of dams, canals and aqueducts delivering water to Southern California from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River delta.
		The gates were quickly closed, stemming the aqueduct's flow, after a water department worker saw the accident, said John Bunce, operations superintendent for the Department of Water Resources southern field division in Castaic.

	STEPPING OUTSIDE THE BOX: Water in Southern California
		Needless to say, the bond passed, but the aqueduct was built only to the edge of the San Fernando Valley where the terminal point still remains, and the water was initially used to irrigate agricultural land outside of the City boundaries, not to provide domestic water to the residents of Los Angeles.
		California has continued to grow, and -- in the pattern first set by Los Angeles -- the State agency responsible for planning California’s water future, the Department of Water Resources, regularly forecasts draconian water shortages if more dams and aqueducts are not constructed to meet those needs.
		In Southern California, many cities responded to the drought by exploring projects that would make them less dependent upon imported water supplies, and improve their capacity to meet their water needs through local water sources they directly controlled.

		The completion of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1913 was a personal triumph for William Mulholland and the first step toward making his city the international metropolis it is today.
		Indeed, during the eight years it took to build the aqueduct, the city's population had more than doubled with no evident strain on the regular water supply.
		The California governor refused to send in the state militia, despite the demands of Los Angeles business leaders; the local sheriff declared himself a "friend and sympathizer" of the rebels.
