- Title
- Whiskey is for Drinking; Water is for Fighting Over - Mark Twain; 2018
- Description
- In 2018 California has more irrigated acreage and produces a wider variety of commercial crops than any other state in the USA. Enough useable water has always been the greatest challenge for California since the Gold Rush of 1849. A history is traced of the complex challenge of providing water to such a diverse state which sometimes seems to experience overwhelming needs for clean water.
