The Owens Valley and the Los Angeles Aqueduct - Vision or Villainy -- Alex Beattie
Did you see the movie "Chinatown"? Did you like it? Did you think it was accurate?
Come and find out the real truth about the Owens Valley controversy. It is more intriguing than the movie Chinatown makes it be.
The Owens Valley is one of the more interesting areas in California and the Los Angeles Aqueduct is probably the most controversial water project ever carried out in California.
This course will present a treatment of the history, culture and physiography of the Owens Valley, the planning and implementation of the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the impact of the aqueduct on the economy, culture and environment of the Owens Valley. You'll be able to join in a class discussion about whether the Los Angeles Aqueduct was a visionary project or a villainous one.
