Thirsty: William Mulholland, California Water, and the Real

Thirsty: William Mulholland, California Water, and the Real Chinatown

Thirsty is the history of Los Angeles and its fraught relationship with water. As a city on the make since the early twentieth century, Los Angelesâ€™ resources fought hard to keep up with its unchecked growth. The cityâ€™s water chief William Mulholland built an aqueduct to grab water over 200 miles away in Owens Valley, but it wasnâ€™t enough. Thirsty is the gripping tale of Los Angelesâ€™ epic battles for water, the larger-than-life characters that shaped a cityâ€™s destiny, and the man-made tragedy that killed 400 and forever changed the way water would be harnessed and allocated.
