Why do you think they are both right?. I believe that Eaton and Mulholland acted with greed, not only because they were not honest with Los Angeles population back in 1905 when they started to build the aqueduct, but as well because their main intention was only to expand the city over everything. They did not consider the catastrophic impact that they will cause on Owens lake and valley.

I am not saying that your opinion is wrong, but maybe you should consider how they actually damaged the valley? Do you think that all the damaged is worth it just to expand the city? or you think they are just right?

    Green River Case Studies

    On Sunday 06/19/16 at 0008 hours I was dispatched to Green River Community College located at 12401 SE 320TH ST in the City of Auburn, King Co, WA for a recovery of a stolen vehicle. Dispatch advised a Kent Police Officer who is part of the Auto Theft Task Force, stated there was possible an unoccupied blue Ford pickup with an Idaho plate, but unknown what the number was. Officer T. Nunn arrived to assist me in searching the parking lot of the college and informed me that the truck was possibly related to this case.

    French Creek Watershed Case Study

Even on a short weekend walk behind the cemetery I would pick up any bottles or small objects I saw I felt an obligation to give back to the area I was able to enjoy. I also understood it was vital to keep the area clean so it would stay enjoyably and inhabited by the animals I always hope to see. It is shown that people will spend more time hiking in clean areas and bring an economic benefit to the area (Loomis et al., 2000).…

    Tully Valley Case Study

    Remediation: The mudboils in Tully Valley are caused by artesian pressure. To reduce mudboil sediment discharges from the mudboil depression area to Onondaga Creek, remedial measures were implemented.
