University of California Press's Open Access publishing program for

to significance in the first half of the twentieth century by way
of its complex relationship to three rivers: the Los Angeles, the
Owens, and the Colorado. The remarkable urban and suburban
trajectory of southern California since then cannot be fully
understood without reference to the ways in which each of these
three river systems came to be connected to the future of the
metropolitan region. This history of growth must be understood in
full consideration of all three rivers and the challenges and
opportunities they presented to those who would come to make Los
Angeles a global power. Full of primary sources and original
documents, Water and Los Angeles will be of interest to both
students of Los Angeles and general readers interested in the
origins of the city.
