Accommodation Holiday Wales Unfortunately, closer to home, the battle lines remain. Beginning in 1913, Los Angeles began sending the flow of the Owens River more than 200 miles south to feed growth and development. Later, the city tapped the Sierra Nevada waters that fed Mono Lake and drilled wells in the Owens Valley to increase supply. During the 1970s, in an effort to force Los Angeles to give up much of the water, environmental groups and Inyo County began a long string of legal actions against the city for the damage done by the diversions. The city lost many of these.

One fight is over the size of the pump the city would use to recapture the water at the south end of the river and return the flow to the Los Angeles Aqueduct. The city wants a big pump. Environmentalists say that the agreement calls for a smaller pump. The hidden issue is whether the city really wants the bigger pump so it can take more ground water from the valley. What's needed is an ironclad agreement by the city that this will not be done--and a pump just big enough to return the lower river water to the aqueduct.

Holiday Wales Walking As with the Snowy River, a revived Owens would have only a fraction of its natural flow, but enough to restore and sustain the fishery and riverbank environment. It would be a historic event and add to the natural and recreational bounty of the Eastern Sierra.
