The same goes for my colleagues at the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), with whom I cooperated on and contested various issues over those years. I hope in some small part this history repays their kindnesses and provides us all additional perspective on the relationship between the two water agencies. I am grateful to SDCWA General Manager Maureen Stapleton, who gave me access to files at the water authority that had not heretofore been used in scholarly research. I am also grateful to the mostly unknown employees at SDCWA who through half a century collected and retained newspaper clippings, reports, correspondence, brochures, and other assorted documents that added clarity and color to the thesis in so many instances. MWD facilitated my work and the work of other researchers by putting its meeting minutes and associated letters and reports online, beginning with the organization of the district in 1928. Professor Jeff Charles at CSU San Marcos provided essential insights, recommendations, and encouragement throughout the long drafting process. Professor Andy Strathman generously contributed his expertise on the history of Southern California water development, providing valuable feedback on topics that appear from the beginning to the end of the thesis. Professor Anne Lombard’s reading ii yielded a fresh look at the project and certain of its elements that deserved more attention. I am grateful for the love and support of my wife, Adriana, whose unrelenting faith in me and my endeavors is not always fully deserved, but is always and forever appreciated. iii This thesis is dedicated to John and Lois. iv Abstract This thesis documents as a historical continuum the relationship between the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), the nation’s largest water district by population served, and the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA), MWD’s largest water purchaser among its 26 member agencies. That association has been marked over the years by alternating cooperation and conflict driven by perceived self-interest. As single purpose special districts with appointed directors and the power to raise their own revenues, MWD and SDCWA operate under less public scrutiny than general jurisdiction governments and have largely ignored competing societal interests in the pursuit of their mission to provide an adequate water supply for a growing population. Although they are united by a common goal, the differing positions of SDCWA and other MWD member agencies, particularly the city of Los Angeles, have led to decades-long battles over the need for and means of acquiring new water supplies and transmission facilities, the allocation of existing supplies, and the apportionment of costs. Those issues intensified beginning in the 1960s as environmentalism and growing water demands throughout the West made the water districts’ job more difficult and complex. As complexity and contentiousness increased, so did the role of agency staff, which assumed policy roles that had heretofore been the sole purview of part-time boards of directors. After drought curtailed water supplies in the early 1990s, a dissatisfied SDCWA began an ultimately successful effort to acquire a large additional water supply outside the MWD sphere, fundamentally altering the relationship between the two agencies. Keywords: special district, water district, bureaucracy, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, San Diego County Water Authority 1 Introduction In 1995, the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) began a determined effort to purchase Colorado River water

The Indian Affairs Committee, a subcommittee of the Chamber of Commerce, was made up of non-Indian business owners who organized their interests through pooled resources. Phil Swing, the subcommittee's lawyer, pursued the group's interests at the national level in Washington D.C. Earl Coffman, son of Nellie Coffman, acted as president. Notable events recorded include the attempts of the Chamber of Commerce to seize control of the Indian Canyons and Agua Caliente Hot Spring on Section 14, the Indian Affairs Committee's demand for retraction of Indian Canyons entrance and horse riding fees, the arrest of the Agua Caliente Band's traditional leaders, the 1937 federal takeover of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation, and other topics pertaining to tribal land rights and sovereignty.

  • Water, Capitalism, and Urbanization in the Californias, 1848-1982
    TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Washington, D.C. August 14, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Hillar Yllo Schwertner All Rights Reserved ii TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: John Tutino, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This is a history of Tijuandiego—the transnational metropolis set at the intersection of the United States, Mexico, and the Pacific World. Separately, Tijuana and San Diego constitute distinct but important urban centers in their respective nation-states. Taken as a whole, Tijuandiego represents the southwestern hinge of North America. It is the continental crossroads of cultures, economies, and environments—all in a single, physical location. In other words, Tijuandiego represents a new urban frontier; a space where the abstractions of the nation-state are manifested—and tested—on the ground. In this dissertation, I adopt a transnational approach to Tijuandiego’s water history, not simply to tell “both sides” of the story, but to demonstrate that neither side can be understood in the absence of the other. I argue that the drawing of the international boundary in 1848 established an imbalanced political ecology that favored San Diego and the United States over Tijuana and Mexico. The land and water resources wrested by the United States gave it tremendous geographical and ecological advantages over its reeling southern neighbor, advantages which would be used to strengthen U.S.

  • Jackson, Donald C
    DC Jackson, Lafayette College 2002 History Symposium Bureau of Reclamation Boulder Dam: Origins of Siting and Design Boulder/Hoover Dam is arguably both the most prominent structure ever built under the responsibility of the Bureau of Reclamation and the most famous dam in the world. Originally authorized as Boulder Dam, it was denoted Hoover Dam by Ray Lyman Wilbur (President Hoover’s Secretary of the Interior) in 1930; Harold Ickes (President Roosevelt’s Secretary of the Interior) reinstated the name Boulder Dam in 1933; finally., in 1947 Congress enacted legislation formally designating it as Hoover Dam, the name it still retains. Whatever the name, the actual structure was built in essential accord with plans developed in the early 1920s. The goal of this paper is simple. It documents: 1) why and when the decision was made to relocate the dam from Boulder Canyon (where it was originally proposed) to Black Canyon (where it was actually built); and 2) when the decision was made to adopt a massive, curved gravity concrete design for the structure. A prosaic goal, but worth undertaking because of the enormous importance of the dam both within the history of the Bureau and within the larger context of American technological development in the 20th century . Because this paper deals with events that occurred during a time the proposed structure was known as Boulder Dam, that is name used in the following discussion. Imperial Valley The origins of Boulder Dam lay in a privately-financed project to irrigate Southern California’s Imperial Valley. As conceived by the Colorado Development Company in the late 1890s, this scheme diverted water from the Colorado river for use on a huge tract of desert land just north of the California/Mexico border.

  • Early History of Water in the Imperial Valley
    ^ƚƵĚLJ'ƵŝĚĞ for Educators͗ Early History of Water in the Imperial Valley tƌŝƚƚĞŶďLJĂŶĚĚŝƌĞĐƚĞĚBrian McNeece &ƵŶĚĞĚďLJ/ŵƉĞƌŝĂů/ƌƌŝŐĂƚŝŽŶŝƐƚƌŝĐƚ Here are some tips to help educators use the video to teach about the early history of the Imperial Valley. As in presenting any lesson, you first get the students ready to watch the video. Then they watch it. And last you discuss what you watched and perhaps assign work for students to explore the topic further. Learning Outcomes: After watching this video students will know 1. The Imperial Valley had few permanent residents prior to the arrival of irrigation water from the Colorado River in 1901. 2. Prior to the Valley’s settlement, it was repeatedly filled with a giant lake by a meandering Colorado River 3. In the mid-1800s, travelers and scientists realized the Imperial Valley could be irrigated from the Colorado River by gravity. 4. Several of the attempts to bring water to the Imperial Valley failed. 5. Charles Rockwood started the California Development Company and tried for seven years to find funding to bring water. 6. George Chaffey was the one who actually brought water to the Valley in 1901. 7. Before dams were built, the Colorado River had huge variations in flow, and so the California Development Company couldn’t deliver water in early spring without making risky diversions of the Colorado River. 8. In 1905, the Colorado River overflowed its banks and flowed into the Imperial Valley, flooding many settlers’ farms and forming the Salton Sea. 9. The Southern Pacific Railroad took over the California Development Company and spent millions to put the Colorado River back into its channel.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
