This crew is having lunch which was just brought in from the outside on one of the electric tunnel locomotives. (Note: In 1900 the population, and its water demand, in the South Coastal Basin had increased to the point where the artesian wells ceased flowing, and surface streams dried up as they were absorbed into the once saturated aluvium. It became necessary to pump water where it once flowed under its own pressure. This is the third of a series of articles about the Colorado River Aqueduct.) In 1905 the City of Los Angeles began the planning of an aqueduct, approximately 240 miles in length, to import water to the city from the high ranges of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. At that time the city had a population of 200,000 and the visionaries of the time prophesied. Then came the World War after that the population South Coastal Basin really grew. Between 1910 and increased 14 per cent, and 1920 and 1930 it increased cent. In people, this repress increase from 1,085,000 in 1930. This in it more began to threaten the tee of an abundant water.

In 1905 the City of Los Angeles began the planning of an aqueduct, approximately 240 miles in length, to import water to the city from the high ranges of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. At that time the city had a population of 200,000 and the visionaries of the time prophesied a day when it would have a half million people. At that time, William Mulholland was the Chief Engineer of the Los Angeles Water Bureau. Using a buckboard for transportation, he scouted out a route for the aqueduct over rugged mountains and across Jessewhere water holes were fifty miles apart. When he submitted his plan for an aqueduct which was to be the largest in the world of that day, there were those who said it couldn't be done, and those who said it shouldn't be done. Western engineers are very seldom stopped by the words, "It can't be done," and for those who said it shouldn't be done—the argument was that Los Angeles could never use the 250 million gallons of water a day that the aqueduct was to carry—the irrefutable answer was, "You'll never need the water if you don't have it." The Los Angeles Aqueduct was completed in 1913, and by that time the population of the city had more than doubled, having increased to 430,000 people. Nevertheless, it seemed that with the increased supply and with the remaining underground reserves the Los Angeles water problem was solved for at least fifty years. Furthermore, it was for the types of industries being listed in the area were used in direct proportion to their manufactured goods.ulation curve was no longer curate guide as to future requirements. The problem was intersecting seasons of 1922, 1923, when the rainfall was 9 inches, and 7 inches resisted.The State of California studies in the basin and for it had an overdraft of 20 gallons of water a day, that the people in the area ing 200,000,000 gallons more each day than man or was replacing in the under-reservoirs.

In people, this represented an increase from 1,085,000 in 1920 to 1,491,000 in 1930. This in itself once more began to threaten the guaranty of an abundant water supply, but a new factor entered the problem after the war, the factor of industrial development. Studies showed that industrial output was growing even faster than population. Adjusting the value of the dollar to the 1927 level of purchasing power, it was found that the per capita value of manufactured goods in Los Angeles had increased threefold between 1890 and 1929, being 241 in 1890 and $628 in 1929. Furthermore, it was found that the types of industries being established in the area were using water in direct proportion to the value of their manufactured goods. The population curve was no longer an accurate guide as to future water requirements. The problem was intensified in the seasons of 1922, 1923, and 1924, when the rainfall was 9 inches, 6 inches, and 7 inches respectively. The State of California conducted studies in the basin and found that it had an overdraft of 200 million gallons of water a day. It meant that the people in the area were using 200,000,000 gallons of water more each day than man or Nature was replacing in the underground reservoirs. Instead of free flowing wells, the various communities in the basin are now pumping water from depths of 100 to 600 feet. The basin lies close to sea level, and as the water table dropped below sea level more and more wells were ruined by salt water intrusion. In the center of the famous orange belt the water table dropped 240 feet between 1927 and 1932.
