The Owens Valley in Eastern California was a beautiful green area with
farms and orchards before the water rights were bought and the water was
sent east to turn the LA desert into a city. I believe that was done by
Mulholland (sp?), one of the early developers of Los Angeles. Very
interesting story.

The movie "Chinatown" with Jack Nicholson in the leading role, was about that.
