About this title

Synopsis

Book and Project is dated 1971, before several significant droughts have seriously impacted northern California. Interesting glimpse into assumptions that were made before the comparatively recent terrible and devastating 1976-1977 California Drought; which has been followed by several other drought seasons. Book is filled with numerous charts, graphs, tables and a fold out map. From the dust jacket - "The California Water Project is the most ambitious and controversial undertaking of an ambitious and controversial state. At a cost of several billion dollars an enormous aqueduct system extends over 400 miles to carry water from the Sacramento Delta to the agricultural areas and urban population centers of southern California. Supporters of the Project believe it is a logical way to meet the expanding needs of the thirsty south with massive surpluses of water from northern California which would otherwise waste into the sea. ......................."

Store Description

I opened my first bookstore in Davis CA in 1985, and started selling online in 1998. I've sold about 50,000 books online, with fewer than 100 returns. I take book descriptions seriously--it's an art--and photos, if not initially available, need only to be requested. I've been away from abebooks a few years, but now am back, with vastly increased shelf space, and plan to double the inventory (while maintaining the erstwhile quality). Non-fiction is my bailiwick, the more specialized and obscure the better. So, we share an interest in specific knowledge, and I will cater to your sphere of knowing as only a 40-year book nerd can.
