I got interested in the topic of west coast water supply politics/shenanigans after watching the film "Chinatown". Is Los Angeles really a "desert community"? Were Californian farmers (and, I guess, Nevadan farmers, too) really starved of their water by ruthless businessmen in the 1930's, in an elaborate plot by the latter to bankrupt the farmers, take their land, and "bring L.A. to the water"? What's the situation with sharing the water among the various states and communities today? I gather water remains a big political hot topic on the west coast to this day.
And, finally, where does the water come from?
