Sacramento River
Project Long Ago
Abandoned byLA
Matter of Bringing Water to
Southern California From
Northern Part Of State
Found InfeasibIe After A
Long Consideration.

Facing the necessity for per-
manent water supply for Los An
geles and Southern California, the
possibility of bringing water from
the Sacramento river by means of
an aqueduct more than 600 miles
in length was nearly ten years ago
the subject of serious discussion by
engineers:
It was by some considered pos
sibility and as such was given care
full consideration before the Colo
RADIO river aqueduct was promoted
The project in its essentials con-
templated taking water from the
Sacramento river, more than 100
miles above Sacramento, bringing
it south in a sufficient volume to
irrigate a portion Of the San Joa-
quin valley and taking a portion Of
the water over or through the
Tehachipi mountains.
Was Discarded
Project, so far as Southern Cali
fornia is concerned, was long ago
discarded as infeaSible. Among the
reasons therefor are the following:
The length Of the aqueduct, more
than 600 miles. would make the cost
prohibitive - far greater than the
Colorado river aqueduct.
The difficulties of crossing the
mountain range into Southern Cali
fornia are greater than are found
in connection with the Colorado
river
And-this is the sufficient reason
which caused Southern California
engineers to dismiss the proposal
from mind--there is no water to
be had. The waters Of the Sacra-
mento Pitt and San Joaquin rivers
are all appropriated and a large
portion thereof being put to use hy
the communities Of the north-cen-
trail part of the state. Projects are
under way for using all the water
available in the Sacramento and
San Joaquin valleys and in the
cities of the north, including San
Francisco, which has recently vot-
ed another bond issue of SAL 100000
to increase her water supply.
Needed in North
1t should be perfectly obvious
that the cities Of the north Will
never permit any of the water upon
which they depend for their present
and future existence to be diverted
to the use of Southern California.
And there you have it. There is
no water for Los Angeles in the
north.
AS dearly as Northern California
loves the south, they have no water
to spare for Los Angeles, even II
they would.
Just why, at this late date, the
long discredited Sacramento river
Los Angeles aqueduct idea should be
again brought to notice is a conun-
drum. Just why any citizen ot
Southern California should attempt
to bring slow death to that part
of the state by advocating abandon
ment of the Boulder dam project IS
beyond our ability to understand.
Hundreds Of engineers have given
their best thought to the question
during the past ten years. Millions
of dollars have been spent in inves-
tigations and study And the almost
unanimous opinion is that there Is
but one possible solution of the
problem-to bring water from the
Colorado river.-Editor
