Inhoud:

Where will the water come from to sustain the great desert cities of Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix? This title explores the water in the West, and explains why America built the dam that made Lake Powell and others like it and then allowed its citizens to become dependent on their benefits, which were always temporary.
