	Los Angeles Aqueduct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original Los Angeles Aqueduct was designed by William Mulholland (an Irish immigrant who became a self-taught engineer and head of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power) to deliver water from the Owens River to the city of Los Angeles, California.
		The construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct effectively ended the development of the Owens Valley as a farming community and devastated the ecosystem of Owens Lake.
		However, the aqueduct's water was crucial in the development of Los Angeles, and a rehabilitation of Mulholland's reputation has taken place in recent years.

	Los Angeles, California - City of Angels - Page 2
		In 1906 the approval of the Port of Los Angeles and a change in state law allowed the city to annex the Shoestring, a narrow and crooked strip of land leading from Los Angeles south towards the port.
		Los Angeles continued to spread out, particularly with the development of the San Fernando Valley and the building of the freeways launched in the 1940s.
		The famed urban sprawl of Los Angeles became a notable feature of the town, and the pace of the growth accelerated in the first decades of the 20th century.

	Perspectives
		The second aqueduct was to be supplied from three sources: increased surface water diversion from the Owens Valley and Mono Basin; reduced irrigated acreage of Los Angeles-owned lands in Mono and Inyo Counties; and increased pumping of groundwater in the Owens Valley.
		In a second lawsuit brought against the ordinance by Los Angeles, a superior court issued a tentative decision in 1983, that the County's ordinance was unconstitutional and preempted by state law.
		The fate of the agreement between Inyo County and the City of Los Angeles on groundwater and surface water management in the Owens Valley thus remains with the court that issued the original decision in 1972, that opened the door to the development of the agreement.

	Mono Lake Case Study (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Los Angeles is a city located in a semi-arid plain and as a result water has been an integral part of its growth.
		The Owens Valley is 230 miles northeast of Los Angeles, and lies between the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the east and the White Mountains on the west.
		Due to the fact that the Los Angeles Water Company was a "junior" claimant in the area and did not own a sufficient amount of riparian land, the amount of water available for the city would depend on the water usage in the entire watershed.

	STEPPING OUTSIDE THE BOX: Water in Southern California
		By 1900, the City of Los Angeles was beginning to fear a "future" water famine, based both on real population growth and the dreams of speculators to develop the San Fernando Valley.
		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.
		In 1915, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power began work to extend the Owens Valley aqueduct north, and still later, it sponsored the Boulder Dam Act to secure water from the Colorado River, which would require the construction of another aqueduct of 400 miles.

	COUNTY OF INYO v. CITY OF LOS ANGELES
		At that point the focus of the lawsuit was clear--its primary aim was protection of subsurface water aquifers against pumping for the purpose of exportation to Los Angeles; secondarily, it sought to restrict utilization of underground water as a substitute for surface water diverted from in-valley uses to exportation.
		Georgeson, aqueduct engineer in charge of the 194 City's water-gathering operations in the Owens Valley, stated: 'Although ground water pumping for export has been carried on historically since 1917, expansion of ground water pumping by the Department is part and parcel of the Second Barrel or Second Los* Angeles Aqueduct.
		In short, while the capacity of the second aqueduct was fixed and known for a number of years before CEQA, the effect of its construction on subsurface water extraction has been a variable but steady escalation, dependent in large part, no doubt, upon the extent of seasonal rain and snowfall from year to year.

		While Los Angeles had seen steady growth ever since the arrival of Southern Pacific Railroad in 1883 made it into a viable a two-railroad town, much of this growth was based on the wildly exaggerated tales of an “Eden by the sea” told by land speculators, and was wildly cyclical.
		It would not be a stretch to say that growth in the goods movement sector was the dominant factor in Los Angeles’ avoidance of the sort of long-term economic decline predicted for it in jeremiads such as Mike Davis’ City of Quartz (1988).
		Conclusion Growth at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach is going to occur, but it does not have to be to the incredibly high levels some have projected.
