Book excerpt: A vivid, searching journey into California's capture of water and soil—the epic story of a people's defiance of nature and the wonders, and ruin, it has wrought Mark Arax is from a family of Central Valley farmers, a writer with deep ties to the land who has watched the battles over water intensify even as California lurches from drought to flood and back again. In The Dreamt Land, he travels the state to explore the one-of-a-kind distribution system, built in the 1940s, '50s and '60s, that is straining to keep up with California's relentless growth. The Dreamt Land weaves reportage, history and memoir to confront the "Golden State" myth in riveting fashion. No other chronicler of the West has so deeply delved into the empires of agriculture that drink so much of the water. The nation's biggest farmers—the nut king, grape king and citrus queen—tell their story here for the first time. Arax, the native son, is persistent and tough as he treks from desert to delta, mountain to valley. What he finds is hard earned, awe-inspiring, tragic and revelatory. In the end, his compassion for the land becomes an elegy to the dream that created California and now threatens to undo it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, University of Kassel, language: English, abstract: Water in California is a political issue. It is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. In springtime, when there is enough precipitation, the snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada floods valleys and fields. And during summer when farmers need the water the land is dry. Additionally, the North commands over three quarters of the water while the South consumes 80 % of it. Therefore, the state pumps water from a gigantic basin called the Sacramento San Joaquin River Delta to the thirsty South. This was not invariably the case four hundred years ago when Native Californians inhabited California. Its waterscape differed markedly from that of todays and changed significantly while undergoing the Spanish Conquest and the American Takeover. After recognizing the value of water a fight over water emerged still leading political debates today. This research paper deals with Californian’s and water, examining problems, developments and prospects of water distribution and consumption. It provides an overview of the history of California’s waterscape and its manipulation by different races. The first chapter deals with the Native Californians and their reception of nature followed by the Spanish who brought a completely different set of values to the country and finally the American Conquest introducing a new era of water consumption. These elaborations are based on Norris Hundley’s comprehensive work The Great Thirst: Californians and Water as it provides incisive descriptions and explanations encompassing two centuries of water problems in California. The second chapter illustrates California’s water use and explains the different sectors trying to examine where the highest amount of water is being consumed. The distribution of water and different water projects are subject to the third chapter. This paragraph explains the Central Valley Project such as the State Water Project and identifies problems and consequences. Subsequently, problems of California’s water supply are highlighted and possible solutions are elaborated. Chapters 2 – 5 are based on information provided by the Department of Water Resources which provides a detailed schedule of annual Water Plan updates on its website.
