About this title

Synopsis

This book delves into the complex social and legal issues surrounding water rights and irrigation in Imperial Valley, California, during the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly expanding agricultural industry and a growing population, the author explores the ways in which private companies, government agencies, and individual settlers competed for control of this vital resource. Drawing on extensive archival research and legal documents, the book sheds light on the intricate web of agreements, conflicts, and controversies that shaped the development of water rights in the region. Ultimately, this book provides a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of how water law and policy have influenced the history and landscape of the American West.
