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 metropolitan future of the region. This history of growth must be understood in full consideration of all three of these 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"--Provided by publisher.RiversCaliforniaLos AngelesHistory20th centuryWater-supplyCaliforniaLos AngelesHistory20th centuryLos Angeles (Calif.)History20th centuryElectronic books. 20th century.academic.america.california.colorado river.development.environment.environmentalist.global power.government.la.los angeles river.los angeles.metropolitan.natural history.owens river.river system.scholarly.social studies.southern california.study.suburban.three rivers.united states.urban growth.water.RiversHistoryWater-supplyHistory333.91/620979409041Deverell William1962-919568Sitton Tom1949-MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK996328039003316Water and Los Angeles2148543UNISA
