  • 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.

    COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD 215 State Services Building 1525 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 September 5, 1963 M E M O R A N D U M TO: Members: Colorado Water Conservation Board and Colorado Water Investigation Commission. FROM: Felix L. Sparks, Director. SUBJECT: Board Consultant re Ruedi Reservoir Geologic Investi­ gation. It has been difficult for the staff of this Board to interpret the volume of conflicting opinions and data which has to date been advanced in connection with the geologic investiga- tion of the Ruedi Reservoir site. Engineering geology is a highly specialized field and we have no one on this staff who can qualify as such a specialist. However, we find ourselves caught in a cross­ fire of diametrically opposed opinions as to the geologic suitabi.lity of the reservoir site. In order that we may have the benefLt of an independent and highly skilled engineering geologist, we have re­ tained Mr. Eugene B. Waggoner of the consulting firm of Woodward­ Clyde-Sherard and Associates for this purpose. Mr. Waggoner will r~view all of the work which has pre­ viously been done by both the- geologists of the United States Bureau of Reclamation and the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists. He is a member of the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists and a member of the National Society of Professional Engineers. Although he will not be a member of the board recently appointed by the Secre-­ tary of the Interior, he will participate in the geologic investiga­ tions conducted by that board. He will remain in constant consulta­ tion with our staff and at a later Board meeting will render his opinion to the Board as to the suitability of the reservoir site, together with his interpretation of the thoroughness of the geologic investigations which have heretofore or may hereafter be conducted.
