Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the author's 1912 proposal for San Francisco to use the Hetch Hetchy Valley as a reservoir for its water supply. The author argues that the valley's natural features make it an ideal location for a reservoir and that the project would provide numerous benefits to the city, including a reliable water supply, hydroelectric power, and recreational opportunities. The author also addresses concerns about the environmental impact of the project and proposes measures to mitigate these impacts. The proposal was controversial at the time, and it remains so today. However, the author's arguments in favor of the project are well-reasoned and persuasive, and the book provides valuable insights into the history of water resource development in California. The book will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of San Francisco, water resource development, or environmental conservation.
