"Thirsty" is the history of Los Angeles and its fraught relationship with water. As a city on the make since the early twentieth century, Los Angeles resources fought hard to keep up with its unchecked growth. The city s water chief William Mulholland built an aqueduct to grab water over 200 miles away in Owens Valley, but it wasn t enough. "Thirsty" is the gripping tale of Los Angeles epic battles for water, the larger-than-life characters that shaped a city s destiny, and the man-made tragedy that killed 400 and forever changed the way water would be harnessed and allocated."
