Thirst For Independence The San Diego Water Story Adventures in Cultural and Natural History

This account of San Diego County's past, present and future water problems is written more for those who live and work in the county than for historians and scholars. I have tried to include enough history to understand the present troublesome situation, enough engineering to to portray how our precious water is received, stored, distributed and protected. A combination of history and current events coverage, this book depicts dramatically San Diego's long and desperate search for an independent and reliable water supply source. Modern water distribution is covered thoroughly from each of the counties' water districts. Includes charts, maps, and photographs. By Dan Walker Author
