Two Watercources
Tuesday, December 5th, 2006
Above Eastern California. In a striking example of human intervention, an aqueduct system (here exposed as a channel) runs parallel to an old stream-bed that has, during floods, overflowed onto the hillside below. No doubt that the man-made watercourse is used to move river water to irrigate fields. How far will we go to put fields where we want them no matter how difficult it will be to irrigate them? This far.
