'Whiskey is for Drinking; Water is for Fighting Over.' – Mark Twain

The City of LA was fast outgrowing it's water supply in the late 1800s.  The Owen's Valley looked like the most likely source for the precious resource.  Tension grew between ranchers, farmers and developers.  Lies and subterfuge were at hand. William Mulholland's aqueduct was the spark that ignited the CA Water Wars in 1913.  What happened?  Where are we today in terms of CA water?  Have things improved?  Is the war over?
